Food and manufacturing recruitment

A specialist food and manufacturing recruitment agency like AWX can fill roles right across food and manufacturing plants from the factory floor through to team leadership and support roles. Our food and manufacturing recruitment and food production recruitment covers food production workers, factory process line staff, food packers and pick packers, forklift drivers, production labourers, machine operators, knife hands, warehouse labourers and quality control. AWX also supply team leaders, supervisors and admin when needed. 

Because AWX focuses on food production recruitment, AWX send workers who understand hygiene standards, pace, safety and shift work and who stick around instead of walking off after a week.  

Fast, because AWX recruit for the food and manufacturing sector every day. Once AWX know what you need, Karlee and her team can have food production worker crews on site within the week, once AWX have ticked a few boxes together. AWX handle the full recruitment process, including paperwork, qualifications and screening and make sure workers know where to go, where to park and what to expect before day one, so they arrive confident and ready to work.

As a specialist food and manufacturing recruitment agency, AWX screens workers properly before they’re placed. AWX check relevant food or factory experience, reliability, shift tolerance, safety awareness and understanding of hygiene standards. AWX also complete right to work checks, references and role specific screening so you don't end up with someone who can't handle the job. 

AWX makes sure workers are site ready by confirming they understand food safety, hygiene requirements, PPE, safe manual handling and production processes relevant to your plant. AWX line up onboarding with your site specific inductions so workers arrive prepared, compliant and ready to contribute.

AWX employs the worker, so they take responsibility for safety and compliance from our side. AWX work with you to ensure site specific inductions are done properly, safety standards are clear and workers understand how to operate safely in your facility. That shared approach protects your people, product and production line.

If a worker doesn’t turn up or isn’t right for the role, AWX want to know early. AWX step in quickly to resolve the issue, whether that means sending a replacement, adjusting the crew or providing extra support on site. Because AWX recruit for food production and manufacturing every day, AWX can respond fast and keep disruption to a minimum. 

AWX food and manufacturing workers can transition into permanent roles with clients. This gives sites the opportunity to assess fit, reliability and performance on the job before committing to a long term hire, while offering workers a pathway into stable employment if that’s the right outcome. 

AWX regularly scales food and manufacturing crews to match changes in demand. Whether it’s seasonal peaks, promotions, shutdowns or unexpected spikes in production, crew numbers can be adjusted so operations stay covered without unnecessary labour costs. 

Workers are supplied across day, afternoon and night shifts, as well as weekends and short notice requirements. Because our focus is food production and manufacturing, placements are made with people who understand shift work, pace and site conditions. 

AWX supports food and manufacturing businesses with single sites or multiple locations across Australia. You’ll work with a local AWX contact who understands how your operation runs, while our teams coordinate behind the scenes to deliver consistent workforce support across every site.
