Maintenance Technician – Fitter (or Electrician with Mechanical skillset)

At Meyer Food Co, we know our production floor never stops, and neither do our maintenance team. They’re the quiet achievers who keep our equipment running safely, efficiently, and reliably. If you’re a skilled tradesperson who enjoys variety, problem-solving, and seeing the results of your work every day, this role is for you.

We’re looking for a Maintenance Technician to join our close-knit team and help us keep our packaging and processing equipment in top shape. You’ll work across a range of machinery, systems, and tools, no two days are the same.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Respond to equipment breakdowns quickly and confidently — troubleshoot, repair, and get production back on track.
• Carry out preventative and predictive maintenance to keep our equipment reliable and downtime low.
• Work on packaging and processing lines, performing mechanical and minor electrical work to optimise performance.
• Use computerised maintenance systems to plan, log, and track your work.
• Support production teams with machine changeovers and help train new staff.
• Contribute to continuous improvement projects — suggesting smarter, safer, and more efficient ways to operate.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organised workshop environment.

What You’ll Bring

• A Fitter Trade Certificate (or similar qualification).
• Ideally experienced maintaining packaging or processing equipment.
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset — you like to fix things before they break.
• Strong communication skills and a genuine team spirit.
• The ability to prioritise and work independently when needed.

The Details

You’ll work on a weekly rotating roster between 5:00 AM – 2:30 PM and 8:30 AM – 6:00 PM, with occasional Saturday work when needed. Reporting to the Maintenance Manager, you’ll be part of a supportive team that values collaboration, reliability, and craftsmanship.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

At Meyer Food Co., you’re not just a number, you’re part of a team that values reliability, craftsmanship, and looking out for each other. We celebrate wins, share ideas, and work hard to make things better every day. Plus, you’ll enjoy heavily discounted meat products, so your next barbecue is always a winner.

If you’re ready to bring your trade skills to a team that values quality, teamwork, and fun, we’d love to hear from you.
