Factory Hand

Job Description

Established in 1992, we’re New Zealand’s leading supplier of premium Beef Dripping.  We’re proud our product is 100% Pure, 100% Local, and 100% Natural.  People who care about what they eat and how it tastes are rediscovering simple, unprocessed food .. healthier, with no additives or preservatives.  Truly, Nature’s Essence of Great Taste.

Come and join our small Team in this busy, hands-on role .. where your efforts are pivotal, and you will really see the wheel turn.

(We’ve been waiting to fill this role until the right person comes along.  That could be you?  Please don’t waste your time, or ours, by applying .. unless you are fully eligible after reading the last paragraph of this advertisement .. and, if after a thorough read of this advert, you believe you are truly a good fit …)

We offer permanent, rock-solid, secure, steady, full-time income (with a bit of overtime).  This is a hands-on, shop floor role – that pays accordingly.  Ours is a robust work environment, so it’s not for the faint-hearted.  You’ll be part of producing a food product we’ve literally been eating since the beginning of time …

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist or a superstar .. just have a track record of being a rock .. steady, reliable,  versatile, dependable, and physically up to the task.  Some might say “old school mentality” (doesn’t mean you are actually old, lol).  If you are the kind of person we’re looking for .. then We Need You! …

Ideally, you’ll be somebody who likes to work at a job that provides you with some physical exercise .. maybe enough so you don’t have to go to the gym?

Can you demonstrate you do / have / are (WAIT .. can you, really)?:

• a great work ethic (including reliability, punctuality, excellent attendance, and a can-do attitude)?
• a good medical / ACC track-record?
• like to keep reasonably fit, and are resilient?
• have a good attitude towards Health and Safety?
• able to follow instructions, and maintain a focus on quality?
• a great Team player (get on well with people, without conflict nor drama)
• can reasonably pass a drug test?
• have your own reliable means of getting to work?
• of average to above-average height (this is an important health and safety requirement, in our workplace)
• a tidy appearance, with good personal hygiene?

We’re seasonally busy, so your engagement will see your day go fast .. and there’s the opportunity to earn a few extra $$$ more weeks than not.  (There’s also promotional opportunity for the right person – but that’s another story …)

We want somebody sooner rather than later ,, so Act Now!  .. Apply Immediately .. don’t miss this exciting opportunity .. please ring Stewart for an introductory chat on 027 688 2686 (I may be working in the Factory, so by all means send a text or leave a voice message, but keep trying) .. ONLY THEN either apply via Seek .. or email your CV, references and covering letter (in confidence) ASAP to:  office@qasnz.co.nz.

Be sure to tell us your specific reason for applying for this job, why you believe we should hire you, your height, and your current employment status.

(Please DO NOT APPLY unless you consider yourself a good fit with what our ad above suggests we are looking for.  DO NOT APPLY if you currently reside outside New Zealand, your application will NOT be acknowledged.  Due to the nature of this vacancy, we expect we will only consider your application if you ALREADY RESIDE (or are immediately about to, in any case) within a reasonable commuting distance of our workplace in Washdyke, Timaru. If you are otherwise a good fit – then we look forward to your application.  Thank You.)
