About the role

A food processing plant in Tinwald needs three food processing workers to start soon. The site is chilled, so you'll be working in a cool environment with full gear supplied. You'll work Monday to Friday, 6am to 2.30pm. Hours vary, but reliable people are usually offered 28 to 40 hours a week. Pay is $25.00 to $29.00 an hour depending on experience. Food handling experience is a plus; a Food Safety certificate is an advantage. Experience counts for more than qualifications here. Applicants need the right to work in New Zealand and two work references. Modern site with good facilities and a staff kitchen. Weekly pay, every Thursday. Keen?
