Maintenance Electrician

Meyer Food Co – Who we are

When people hear the name Meyer Food Co, most haven’t heard of us, and that’s fine. We’re not a brand in the spotlight, but we’re behind some of the biggest names in Australia. Our products are used by major retailers, clubs, pubs, national fast-food chains, aged care providers and hospitals across the country.

We specialise in value-added food. Using a unique cooking (Sous Vide) and packaging process, we take raw ingredients and turn them into slow-cooked, nutritious, great-tasting meals. Last year alone, we produced enough meat to feed every person in Australia three times over. Chances are, you’ve eaten our products plenty of times without even realising.

What we need

We’re looking for a Maintenance Electrician to join our close-knit maintenance team and help keep our production, processing and packaging equipment running safely and reliably.

This is a hands-on role working across a broad range of electrical systems, automated equipment and production machinery. No two days are the same, and you’ll have the opportunity to troubleshoot problems, improve equipment reliability and make a genuine impact on how the site operates.

What You’ll Be Doing

Respond to electrical and equipment breakdowns — fault find, diagnose and repair issues to get production back up and running safely and quickly.

Carry out preventative and predictive electrical maintenance across production, processing and packaging equipment.

Fault find electrical control systems, PLC’s, motors, sensors, drives and automated equipment.

Diagnose and resolve electrical faults across machinery and site infrastructure.

Work alongside mechanical trades and production teams to identify recurring equipment issues and improve reliability.

Use our computerised maintenance system to plan, record and track maintenance activities.

Assist with equipment installations, upgrades, commissioning and improvement projects.

Support production teams with machine changeovers and technical troubleshooting.

Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying safer, smarter and more efficient ways to operate.

Ensure all electrical work is completed safely and in accordance with relevant standards and site requirements.

Available for other tasks including mechanical works

Maintain a clean, safe and organised workshop and work environment.

What You’ll Bring

A recognised Electrical Trade Qualification and current NSW Electrical Licence.

Experience in industrial maintenance, manufacturing or a similar environment.

Experience fault finding on production, packaging or processing equipment would be highly regarded.

A strong understanding of electrical control systems, PLC’s, motors, sensors, drives and automated machinery.

A proactive, solutions-focused mindset — you enjoy finding the cause of a problem, not just fixing the symptom.

Strong communication skills and a genuine team-first approach.

The ability to prioritise competing maintenance requirements and work independently when needed.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

At Meyer Food Co., you’re not just a number. You’re part of a team that values reliability, craftsmanship and looking out for each other. We celebrate wins, share ideas and work hard to make things better every day.

You’ll have the opportunity to work across a diverse range of equipment, solve real problems and contribute to improving how our operation runs. Plus, you’ll enjoy heavily discounted meat products, so your next barbecue is always a winner.

If you’re an experienced electrician who enjoys fault finding, solving problems and keeping things running, we’d love to hear from you.
