Meat Packers and Process Workers | Full time
About Western Meat Packers
Proudly Western Australian, Western Meat Packers is a family-run meat processing business that has operated since ****. From our Osborne Park facility, we process and supply quality meat products for domestic and international markets. Our business has grown significantly over the years, while maintaining a strong focus on safety, quality, reliability and teamwork.
About the Opportunity
Due to continued growth, we are seeking reliable and hardworking people to join our Osborne Park operations on a permanent full-time basis. We have opportunities across different parts of the business, including meat production, packing, scanning and labelling, machinery operation, chiller and freezer work, and container loading.
Successful candidates will be placed in an area based on their experience, capabilities and the operational needs of the business. Some employees may also be trained to work across multiple areas over time.
These are hands-on and physically active roles. The work is performed in a fast-paced meat processing environment and may involve handling raw meat, working in chilled or freezer conditions, operating around machinery and completing repetitive manual tasks.
During the recruitment process, we will discuss the available work areas and their conditions with you so that you understand what the position involves.
