As the leading supplier of farm-fresh eggs and egg products, our mission is to continue setting the standard in the industry by valuing our people and equipping them with the skills to deliver top-quality products and service. With egg-citing growth and expansion on the horizon, now’s a great time to join us and be part of our continued success!
About the role
This is a newly created role to support operational coverage at our Kinglake West site. As a Process Operator, you will play a critical hands-on role in ensuring the smooth, safe and efficient operation of the pasteurising process. While supervisors oversee the area, this role operates independently and is relied upon to keep production moving smoothly, particularly during planned and unplanned leave coverage.
This is a relief-style role requiring flexibility, strong attention to detail, and the ability to follow processes without constant supervision.
What you’ll do
- Operate the pasteuriser, monitoring product flow, temperatures and performance
- Follow production schedules and adjust changeovers as required
- Monitor the end-to-end process flow and identify issues before they escalate
- Clean and maintain equipment, including silos, pumps and external surfaces
- Connect pumps to automated cleaning systems and complete manual clean-downs
- Organise egg breaking activities to align with production needs
- Work closely with supervisors to plan and execute daily production tasks
- Ensure processes run smoothly so other team members can perform their roles
- Accurately follow instructions, procedures and food safety requirements
About You
Are you someone who takes ownership of your work, thinks a few steps ahead, and doesn’t need constant supervision to deliver great outcomes? You’re practical, switched on, and comfortable following processes because you understand why they matter. You’re confident using a computer, happy to get hands-on in a wet production environment, and take pride in keeping operations running smoothly. You manage your time well, stay calm when plans change, and bring a steady, reliable presence that others can count on. If this sounds like the kind of role where you’d do your best work, we’d love to hear from you – apply now and take the next step with us.
What We’re Looking For
- Ability to work independently without constant supervision
- Strong understanding of following process flows and instructions
- Capable of learning multiple tasks and understanding consequences of errors

- Good time management and ability to set your own pace
