Flexible, consistent and not for the faint hearted.

Our Production Operators are at the heart of what we do. It can be a great job opportunity, and we’re proud that some people stay with us for years. However, we know it’s not for everyone. You don’t need technical skills, but you do need a great work ethic and attention to detail. In this role: 

• Working in a slaughterhouse environment, your job is to collect, prepare and package animal tissue, along with the necessary quality documentation.
• You will be working at all our Victorian sites, including Melbourne and regular travel to our production site in Warrnambool, regional VIC.
• You’ll follow clear processes with focused concentration, using the skills and techniques taught to you by our experts.
• Your team's goal is to achieve its daily production targets while meeting high-quality expectations and working safely at all times.

What you’ll bring 

As a member of our team, it’s vital that you share our values. Here’s what else you need to thrive in a role at Maverick Bio:
