02

Food Packers for Packing Runs

Packers prepare and pack products to the site's instructions, including its handling and presentation requirements.

03

Machine Operators for Production Equipment

Machine operators work with production equipment where the employer's required experience and operating procedures must be confirmed before placement.

04

Production Support Workers for Shift Coverage

Production support duties may include moving between assigned line tasks, subject to the worker's experience and the site's instructions.

Practical workforce support

Keep Food Production Shifts Properly Staffed

A packing line needs enough people in the right positions when a shift begins. An unfilled station can place extra pressure on the rest of the team. We take the duties, shift pattern and required experience into account when reviewing your staffing request.

We check candidates against the role and confirm relevant experience, work rights and availability. Your site's induction and PPE requirements form part of the placement brief. Our consultants coordinate onboarding and stay in contact after the worker starts.
