Meyer Food Co — Kings Park
Most people haven’t heard of us — and that’s fine. We’re not a household name, but we’re behind some of Australia’s biggest. Our products end up on the plates of major retailers, fast-food chains, aged-care facilities, hospitals, clubs and pubs across the country. Last year alone, we produced enough meat to feed every Australian three times over. Chances are, you’ve already eaten our food without knowing it.
We’ve been doing this since 1988, and the reason we’re still here is simple: good people, supported well.
Butchers & Knife Hands — Day & Afternoon Shift
We’re growing, and we’re looking for experienced Butchers and Knife Hands who want more than just a job. If you take pride in your craft, show up reliably, and want to be part of a team that actually looks out for each other — this is the place for you.
Available Shifts
- Day Shift — 5:00am to 1:30pm
- Afternoon Shift — 1:30pm to 10:00pm
Roles are casual during a 6-month probationary period, with a genuine pathway to permanent employment for the right people. These positions are long-term — if you’re looking for something short-term or casual filler work, this won’t be the right fit.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Trimming and preparing meat products to specification
- Weighing and vacuum-sealing raw meat products with sauces
- Operating equipment safely and efficiently
- Lifting and packing meat products as part of a production line
- Following food safety, hygiene and WHS procedures
- Contributing to a team that takes quality seriously
What We’re Looking For
- Experienced Butchers or Knife Hands — your trade matters here
- Someone who shows up, takes pride in their work, and looks out for their team
- Physically capable and comfortable in a cold room environment
- Strong attention to detail and able to follow SOPs and food safety standards
- Committed to long-term, ongoing employment
- Full Australian work rights
What You’ll Get in Return
At Meyer Food Co, you’re valued as an individual — not a number. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
- ✅ Consistent hours with a clear pathway to permanent employment
- ✅ Afternoon shift loading (where applicable)
- ✅ Competitive pay with overtime opportunities
- ✅ Hands-on training and approachable leadership from day one
- ✅ A welcoming, multicultural team where real friendships are built
- ✅ Recognition for your hard work — your effort doesn’t go unnoticed
- ✅ Daily meals provided — sliced meats, bread, condiments and fruit
- ✅ Employee discounts and exclusive perks
- ✅ A workplace that genuinely cares about your safety and wellbeing
“You’re valued as an individual, not a number.”
If you’re a skilled Butcher or Knife Hand ready to commit to something long-term and be part of a team that has your back, we’d love to hear from you.
