The Company
Inspired by Australia's great people and amazing foodie culture, Chobani USA purchased the Gippsland Dairy brand to form Chobani Australia in 2011. Flash forward 12 years and Chobani is Australia’s #1 yogurt brand, living in the hearts (and tummies) of fans across the country.
But it’s always been about more than yogurt. At its heart, Chobani is purpose-led, and takes seriously its belief in making a difference using food as a force for good. The Chobani team is passionate about supporting the communities in which they live and work, adopting a trail blazing approach to tackling Australian food insecurity through volunteering, donations, and community impact.
The Opportunity
Do you love working with consumer goods and enjoy leading by example? Looking for a great work-life balance with a company on the rise?
As Chobani continues its journey to become a World Class Organisation by 2027, we are recruiting a Night Shift Yard Team Leader to lead our small team of 3 based at our Dandenong South manufacturing facility.
As the intermediary between our factory and the warehouse, your team will be responsible for ensuring the accurate transfer of all finished goods and the movement of raw materials from both ambient and chilled warehouses, preparing them for production.
At Chobani, we value work-life balance and offer a schedule that supports it, so in this role you’ll enjoy 12-hour shifts from 6pm to 6am on a 6-day fortnight (Monday to Saturday) with every second weekend off, providing ample time for personal pursuits and family.
We are looking for people who:
• Have previous manufacturing experience in a food, beverage or pharma consumer goods company
• Have experience leading and coaching a small team of manufacturing team members
• Have a current Forklift licence (or willing to obtain one)
• Naturally put safety and quality of our people and product first
• Love learning new ways of doing things and are passionate about process improvement
• Genuinely care about people and creating team environments where they can thrive
This is an excellent opportunity to build on your leadership skills in a dynamic consumer goods environment. You'll be coaching and developing a small team, ensuring they are engaged, well-trained, and safe at work, all while thriving in a fast-paced setting.
In return to support your success as a leader, you will take part in Chobani’s frontline leadership program, receive regular structured coaching from your leader and work on a development plan to keep you challenged and learning.
At Chobani, social responsibility is in our DNA and that means you will be joining an organisation that is constantly seeking to make a difference for the community, people, and planet. In addition to the inclusive, engaging and supportive culture we’re known for, you’ll have access to free parking, access to senior leaders and unlimited free yogurt during shift hours!
