Food Production Assistant (Full-Time) - Early Morning Shift

Feedwell
A$62,500.00 - A$65,000.00 per year

Sydney CBD | Full-Time, 5 days/week | Fixed Shifts| Done by 10am


This role starts at 1:30am. You'll work Monday to Friday - 1:30am to 10:00am. If those hours don't work for your life, our afternoon shift might suit you better -- search "Feedwell Catering Assistant" to find it.

This role is for 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 need to know how to move and keep pace

We're Feedwell, one of Sydney's busiest high-volume fresh food catering businesses. We deliver thousands of fresh sandwiches, wraps, and baguettes daily to workplaces like Google, Amazon, Canva, and Louis Vuitton -- and our early morning crew are the ones who make it happen.

What You'll Do

You'll spend your shift across two areas:

Production (roughly half your shift)

  • Produce sandwiches, wraps, and baguettes at high-volume, following our recipe cards and standards
  • Assemble them to look great -- consistent portions, clean presentation, every time

Packing and Quality Assurance (roughly half your shift)

  • Cut, display, and pack finished product neatly into our catering boxes and packaging
  • Check that every label is correct -- including dietary and allergen labels
  • Perform the final quality check before orders go out the door

This is hands-on, fast-paced, precise work. You'll be following set procedures, and taking real ownership of the quality of what goes out.

Who Thrives Here

  • Those with experience in busy kitchens, commercial food prep, catering, delis, or any high-volume food environment 
  • People who want something permanent, fixed shifts they can rely on  -- whether you're returning to work, coming off casuals, or ready to commit somewhere you can stay and grow.
  • People who like routine, pace, and clear standards -- and take pride in making food that looks right every time
  • Reliable, punctual team players who want 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 crews are. When we find them, we look after them.

  • Full-time, permanent role -- job security, fixed days, fixed hours, no last minute roster changes 
  • Done by 10am -- your afternoon and evening are yours
  • Our highest-paid production shift -- early morning rates reflect the commitment
  • 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, no shouting
  • Training in our highly effective step-by-step processes
  • Clear systems -- weekly feedback, sign-offs 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. Happy mastering your station and staying steady? That's just as valued.
  • Salary: Over $70,000 Package, including Super & Perks

Hear from 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

"When I joined, I was just looking for something steady. What stood out from day one was that it's calm and organised -- not chaotic like other kitchens I'd worked in." -- Anne, now Operations Manager (started in a crew role in 2017)
