About Byron Beef Jerky Byron Beef Jerky is a family-owned food manufacturing business based in the Bangalow area. Operating since 2011, we produce a range of premium meat snacks including Beef Jerky, Biltong and Beef Sticks.

We are a small, friendly team with a strong focus on quality, food safety and doing things properly. As our business continues to grow, we are looking for reliable and positive people to join our production team.

We potentially have several positions available for the right candidates.

About the Role We are looking for

Production Assistants

to work across our manufacturing facility.

Depending on the needs of the business and your strengths, you may work in

raw production, packing, or across multiple areas of the facility .

This will start as a casual position with the prospect to move to permanent employment.

Approximately 38 hours per week across five days is very standard for our production team , and we are looking for people who want consistent, ongoing employment.

Our normal production week is

Monday to Friday . Depending on the area you are working in, shifts generally start between

5:00 am and 9:00 am

and finish between

2:00 pm and 5:00 pm .

Production does not always finish at exactly the same time each day, so some flexibility is required.



There may be occasions where the team needs to stay longer to complete production, cleaning or other essential tasks before finishing for the day.

What You’ll Be Doing This is a hands-on production role, and your duties may include:

Preparing and handling raw meat

Weighing ingredients and following recipes and production specifications

Mixing and marinating products

Loading and unloading trays, racks and production equipment

Operating production machinery and equipment

Packing finished products

Labelling and checking finished goods

Carrying out product and quality checks

Following food safety, hygiene and allergen-control procedures

Completing production and traceability records

Moving ingredients, packaging and finished goods around the facility

Cleaning and sanitising your own work area, equipment and other areas of the production facility as required

Assisting with stock movement and general production tasks

Supporting other members of the production team when required

Performing other reasonable duties that are required to keep a busy food production facility running effectively

We don't expect every applicant to have done all of these things before.

We are very happy to train the right person.

What We're Looking For Experience is useful, but

attitude,



reliability and willingness to learn are more important to us .

The people who tend to do well in our team are those who:

Turn up reliably and on time

Have a positive, can-do attitude

Take pride in their work

Care about cleanliness and hygiene

Are willing to learn

Can follow instructions and procedures carefully

Pay attention to detail

Work well as part of a team

Treat their coworkers with respect

Are happy to help wherever needed

Understand that production work sometimes means finishing the job before going home

Are comfortable performing repetitive tasks when required

Can communicate effectively in English and accurately follow written production and food-safety instructions

Previous food manufacturing, production, warehousing, butchery or similar experience is valuable but

not essential .

A forklift licence or experience operating production equipment would also be highly regarded.

What the Working Environment Is Actually Like We think it is important that applicants understand what the job involves before applying.

This is a genuine food-production role — not an office or retail position.

You will regularly be

handling raw meat .

The production environment is generally around

8°C , and areas of the factory can be

cold, wet and noisy .

You will spend most of your shift

standing and working on your feet .
