Get Real Food Tech Experience Before You Graduate
At Birch & Waite, we don't just make chef-quality sauces, dressings, mayonnaise and desserts.
We create products that help Australians make everyday meals extraordinary.
As our business grows and our product portfolio expands, we're opening the door to a Food Technology student who's ready to step out of the lecture theatre and into a real product development environment.
This is a role for someone who's curious, hands-on and keen to learn.
You've completed your first year of a Food Science or Food Technology degree, and now you want to see how it all comes together in industry.
With us, you'll work across a diverse portfolio, including dressings, sauces, desserts, dips and more, so no two days look the same.
We know study comes first.
This is a casual role and we'll work around your university timetable.
The role is based at our Marrickville site, moving to our new Villawood site next year, so you'll need to be able to make the move with us.
You'll be...
Supporting the development of current products across dressings, sauces, desserts, dips and more
Preparing benchtop samples and helping run product trials
Collecting ingredients from the factory and keeping the Innovation Kitchen clean
Taking part in sensory evaluations and capturing feedback
Recording trial data accurately and helping keep documentation up to date




Working alongside experienced food technologists to take products from concept to shelf
Learning how food safety and quality fit into everything we make
You'll thrive here if you...
Are passionate about food, flavour and innovation
Love getting hands-on and learning by doing
Are organised, detail-oriented and reliable
Enjoy working as part of a team and aren't afraid to ask questions
Want to make a real impact on products Australians enjoy every day
What you'll bring
Current enrolment in an undergraduate Food Science, Food Technology or related degree, with first year completed
The ability to travel to our Marrickville site now, and to Villawood from next year
A curious mind and a willingness to learn
Bonus points if you have...
Lab or kitchen experience, whether through university, hospitality or food service
An interest in wet food products, such as chilled mayonnaise, dressings and sauces
Life at Birch & Waite
People are at the heart of everything we do.
We believe the best ideas come from collaboration.
You'll join a supportive team that's passionate about innovation, quality and continuous improvement, where your ideas are valued and your work has a real impact.
This is your chance to gain hands-on industry experience while you study, build your skills across a wide range of products, and get a head start on your career with one of Australia's leading food manufacturers.
Values-led organisation: Together | Committed | Creative | Authentic
If you're a Food Technology student ready to put your learning into practice, we'd love to hear from you.
Join us as we continue to create extraordinary food experiences for Australians every day.
