Feedwell
A$60,250.00 - A$68,000.00 per year


Sydney CBD | Full-Time, Permanent | Choose a Fixed 1:30 a.m or 1:30 p.m Shift

This is a full-time, permanent job with fixed days and hours. Not casual. Not contract. You'll know exactly when you're working, what your role is, and what's expected. No last-minute roster changes. No uncertainty.

We're Feedwell, one of Sydney's busiest fresh food catering businesses. We deliver thousands of meals daily to workplaces like Google, Amazon, Canva, and Louis Vuitton -- but it's our production crew that makes it happen.

We're hiring food production crew to prepare, assemble, and pack fresh food in our central kitchen. You'll be working at your own bench, following the step-by-step procedures we train you on, and working to the system so everything is consistent. This is hands-on, practical work -- making sure every salad, wrap, sandwich, and grazing board looks great, tastes fresh, and goes out on time.

What You'll Do

  • Prepare and assemble salads, wraps, sandwiches, grazing/fruit platters and bakery items to our recipes and standards -- we'll show you exactly how
  • Follow our step-by-step procedures and stick with them once trained
  • Prep work such as chopping, portioning, and batching produce and proteins to recipe specs, plus cooking and roasting vegetables
  • Work at your station with pace and consistency to hit production times
  • Keep your bench clean, organised, and food-safe
  • Be respectful, reliable, and a positive part of your team
  • Rotate across stations once trained so you can build more skills

Who Thrives Here

  • People who want something permanent they can rely on -- whether you're returning to work, coming off casual shifts, or simply ready to commit somewhere properly
  • Those with experience in busy kitchens, commercial food prep, catering, delis, or any high-volume food environment -- you don't need to be a chef, but you do need to know how to move
  • People who like routine, pace, and clear standards -- and take pride in making food that looks great every time
  • Reliable, punctual team players who want stability and a workplace that notices when you do good work
  • People happy to learn our way, build on it, and keep improving

What You'll Get

We know how important great crew are. When we find them, we look after them.

  • Full-time, permanent job with fixed days and hours
  • Fixed shifts -- early mornings, afternoons, or evenings
  • Well paid, with real perks:
  • A meal on every shift
  • Your birthday off -- paid
  • Feedwell Grocery Box every fortnight to take home
  • A calm, respectful kitchen -- no yelling, no egos
  • Professional systems: clear step-by-step processes, sign-offs, and weekly feedback so you always know where you stand
  • Growth if you want it through our Feedwell Academy -- from Crew to Senior Crew with a badge, pay rise, and premium shifts. If you're happy mastering one station and staying steady, that's just as valued.
  • Salary: Competitive and aligned with experience

Hear from some of our Team

"I started at Feedwell just making sandwiches. I wasn't looking for more at the time, just a stable job I could do well. They noticed, supported me, and helped me grow when I was ready. Now I'm in a more senior role, but it all started on the floor learning the basics properly." -- Oktaviana, now Packing Supervisor
