Streamline Cartons has been manufacturing printed cartons in South Australia for over 25 years. Our packaging goes onto wine, food and cosmetic products you'd recognise on the shelf. We're hiring an afternoon-shift assistant to work alongside our folder-gluer operators on one of our Bobst machines.
The shift
- Full-time hours: Monday to Thursday, 2:00pm to midnight (four 10-hour shifts)
- Every weekend is a 3-day weekend (Fri/Sat/Sun off)
- Weekend overtime at penalty rates when it's on offer
- Starts casual and moves to permanent once you've shown you're the right fit
What you'll actually be doing
You'll be catching finished cartons off the end of the folder-gluer, stacking them, bundling them, and getting them ready to ship. You'll be working to the rhythm of the machine. You'll also be:
- Reading job cards and SOPs and following them exactly
- Checking cartons as they come off the machine and flagging problems (we'll teach you what to look for)
- Putting the correct labels on finished bundles
- Helping the operator set up and change over between jobs
What we need from you
- Genuinely fit and strong. This is a physical job. You'll be on your feet, moving fast, and handling bundles of cartons for 10 hours. If standing and lifting all shift isn't something you enjoy, this isn't the job.
- Reliable and punctual.
The machine can't run until the whole team is there.
- Able to read and follow written instructions (job cards, SOPs, label specs) in English.
- An eye for detail. We'll teach you what a print fault looks like, but you need to be the type who notices things.
- Hungry to learn. For the right person, this role is a genuine pathway to an operator apprenticeship and a trade qualification.
No prior factory experience required. What matters is fitness, reliability, and attitude.
