AddressWhat would I be doing?
A Hatchery Worker prepares eggs for hatching and prepares day old chicks once they’ve hatched, for transport to their customer farm.
You would work on one part of the production line, be it immunisation, sorting and counting, packaging into their cardboard crates and other tasks. There is also a cleaning component to each day to sanitise the work area, ready for the next day.
The production line is well set up and the machinery you will be using is well maintained, making your job as simple as it can be. Throughout the process, the wellbeing of the chicks is the highest priority.
Am I right for the job?
To be able to do this job, you must be physically fit with no restrictions to movement. There is repetition of bending, twisting, and lifting throughout the day and you are on your feet working. It isn’t heavy lifting, just repetitive.
Due to the high biosecurity standards, you must not have live birds or pigs at home as pets, or livestock.
A positive attitude, great reliability, keenness to follow instructions and operate as an efficient team member is important.
Why should I apply?
Full time employment from the start, working Monday to Friday and some occasional Saturdays.
With an Enterprise Agreement in place, above award wages are offered in this position and are due to increase each financial year and as you grow your skills through the internal training programme.
With a renewed focus on creating a great culture and a positive work environment, now is the time to apply to kick start your career in the Avian industry.
