Production Operator

About Us

BiomeCentric is a fast-growing Australian contract manufacturer based in Molendinar on the Gold Coast. We're a microbiome-focused business making skincare, cosmetic and ingestible products for brands across the health and beauty market. With new production lines going in, we're expanding our team and looking for 2-3 Production Operators to grow with us.

About the Role

This is a hands-on role in a fast-paced production environment. You'll run a line from start to finish rather than working one station on it, and because we're a contract manufacturer the product changes constantly - frequent changeovers, lots of formats, and no standing on the same machine doing the same thing all day.

You don't need cosmetics experience. If you've run machines in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, supplement or any FMCG plant, your skills carry straight across. And if you've worked on a production line and you're ready to step up to running the machines, we'll train you.

Key Responsibilities

Set up, operate and change over filling and packing machines - sachet, tube, liquid, powder, capsule, tablet, balm, bar and sheet mask

Run form-fill-seal lines, labelling and batch coding equipment

Carry out in-process checks - fill weights, seal quality

Complete batch documentation and line clearance to GMP standard

Support compounding and batching as the schedule requires

Help commission and run new lines as they come online

Troubleshoot basic faults and know when to escalate

What Success Looks Like

We're upfront about how operators are measured here, from day one:

📊 Output against the daily production plan

⏱️ Changeover time and line downtime

✔️ Right first time - documentation complete, no deviations, no rework

If you like knowing where you stand, you'll do well with us.

What We're Looking For

Hands-on experience around machines or production lines - any industry

The kind of person who'd rather work out why a machine stopped than wait for someone else to

Strong attention to detail. On our lines, a fill weight or a seal that drifts becomes a customer's problem

Someone who fills the paperwork out as they go

Reliable, punctual and a genuine team player

Machine operation, changeovers, compounding, batching, GMP, HACCP, ISO or a forklift licence all count for a lot with us - but none of them are essential. Tell us what you've run and we'll take it from there.

Why Join Us?

🔧 Brand new equipment - new lines going in, and you'll help bring them online

🔁 Cross-training across our machines, so you're never stuck on one

🧪 A route across into compounding if that's the direction you want to head

📈 A growing business - people here have moved up

👥 A small, supportive team where what you do gets noticed

📍 Molendinar location, close to public transport
