Adventure of a lifetime
We are looking for 1 seasonal Process Worker who can start immediately and commit to a full-time assignment up until Christmas, working in our factory processing blue cod and paua.
The Chatham Islands lie 750 km to the east of New Zealand's South Island. Moana is one of the biggest employers on the island, which is home to a small community of people, surrounded by pristine waters, that are world renowned for their rock lobster (crayfish), paua (abalone) and blue cod, that are sustainably harvested on these islands.
Our Opportunity:
If you would like to gain experience working in processing and have a great work ethic, attitude and are reliable we are happy to train you.
Alternatively, if you have previous processing and/or knife hand experience we can provide opportunities to develop your skills and experience in the seafood industry.
The role is focused on processing seafood; grading, packing, and transporting of fish, and sometimes paua and lobster. A critical part of this role is ensuring the highest standard of food safety and quality, following all health & safety processes and practices, and working as an effective and reliable member of the team. From quality control and labouring duties to cleaning and supporting landings and loadouts. This is a physical role that requires focus and commitment at all times.
A team-based operation, so you need to enjoy working with others, be able to take instructions and follow process, whilst supporting your colleagues and ensuring that every day, you are meeting targets, working to a high level of productivity and keeping each other safe.
We operate our factories and processing functions to the strictest standard of food safety and compliance. It requires every one of our people to be committed to achieving this high standard, adhering to all health & safety requirements, and aligning behaviour, performance and engagement to our values and code of conduct.
Due to the nature of the business and changing tides and weather conditions you need to be adaptable and flexible when it comes to days and hours of work.
Training is provided.
What You Need:
You need to be process orientated, organised, and committed to ensuring the highest standards of food quality and safety are applied to the end-to-end operations.
You will enjoy the remoteness and experience of living on the Chatham's and the opportunity to build long lasting relationships with a close-knit team. With a genuine passion for seafood and developing your skills in processing and as a knife hand, this is a great opportunity to work with a business committed to operational excellence, health and safety and producing premium products.
Please note you must be:
- eligible to work in NZ
- a reliable and efficient worker
- able to pass a pre-employment criminal, medical and drug and alcohol testing
- fit and healthy
- willing to commit to living on the Chatham Islands for the duration of your employment
