About the business and the role

East Coast Canning is Australia's mobile canning solution.

Our team is everything to us, and we want you to be a part of it if you think your attitude and experience collide with ours!

Our Vision is to Create Inspiring Experiences in Cans.

We want you to fully relate to our Vision and understand the impact that a perfectly presented and crafted beverage can have within specific moments in peoples lives. We help to achieve this in partnership with our customers!

We are a rapidly expanding company, meaning opportunities exist to advance and become an integral member of our growing team. That said, we are first and foremost a family owned business that values quality and service above all.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and fun person to fulfil support duties as a packaging line assistant with potential to begin training to operate the canning line as a whole, ensuring the quality of our service and creating an excellent experience for our customers. You will support the Line Operator/Territory Team Leader in expanding the ECC mobile business within the territory.

This role is perfect for someone with a science/engineering background looking for change, packaging experience, brewing knowledge/experience or if you have the ability to work with complex machinery. All that said, we are happy to talk to anyone with a strong work ethic and passion.

The successful applicant will be expected to travel often as we are a mobile service. Primarily in NSW although other projects further afield are to be expected occasionally.

We are happy to talk to candidates regardless of the number of working hours they desire. Put an awesome application in and lets chat!

Finally - we LOVE cover letters. Please write us a note to explain who you are, and why you want to be a part of the East Coast Canning family
