Job description:

Tigris makes premium handmade dumplings — 100% from scratch, the same clean-label, quality-first philosophy behind Ket Baker. We're looking for a skilled maker to produce our dumplings one day a week: hand-making, filling, shaping, portioning, packing and freezing to recipe, ready for our shops, wholesale customers and market stall. There is a lot of growth prospect so perfect to come and dip your toes in the water.

This is hands-on food production, not restaurant service. If you take pride in consistency, speed and a clean bench, and you enjoy getting into a rhythm and making beautiful product, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll do
Make dumplings by hand to our set recipes — filling, wrapping and shaping to a consistent standard
Prepare and portion fillings; weigh and measure ingredients accurately
Package, label, date and freeze finished boxes ready for sale and dispatch
Keep output consistent in size, weight and appearance, batch to batch
Follow all food-safety and hygiene requirements and keep a clean, sanitised work area
Clean down equipment and the bench at the end of the shift, and flag low stock

What we're looking for
Kitchen,



food-production or dumpling-making experience — a cook, chef or production background is ideal
Valuable hand skills, speed, and an eye for consistency and detail
A current food-handling / food-safety certificate (or willingness to obtain one)
Reliable, self-directed, able to run the day's production with minimal supervision
Comfortable on your feet for the shift and working to a target output

Room to grow
This role can grow into weekend market work for the right person — prepping and selling our dumplings at local markets. If that interests you, tell us in your application. It's a bonus, not a requirement. This role can also grow into the other business: bakery production.

The details
Casual, one day per week (approx. 8 hours), day to be confirmed
Based in Wallington, Geelong region
Paid under the Food, Beverage & Tobacco Manufacturing Award (MA000073), casual rate + 12% super
Reports to the owner / production lead

Pay: $32.00 – $34.00 per hour

Expected hours: 8.0 per week

Perks:
Employee discount
Free food

Work Location: In person
