Skilled Meat Worker
Visa sponsorship
Manufacturing · Sydney, NSW, Australia · Contract · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
A recruiter is placing meat processing professionals with multiple client sites throughout Australia, and it needs boners, slicers and trimmers, and slaughtermen. People with experience in beef, veal, lamb/sheep, pork, goat and other red meat operations are welcome, and each applicant should note the species they have worked with and the work they can do competently and independently.
Employer sponsorship may be available for suitable candidates, under applicable Skilled Meat Worker arrangements and including subclass 482 pathways where relevant, but it hinges on employer requirements, skills assessment and individual visa eligibility and is not automatic.
