Process Operator for the Herring Factory in Ellös

Sweden Pelagic is located in Ellös, Orust and specializes in herring processing. We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of the fishing conglomerate Västkustfiskgruppen, which is owned by Swedish professional fishermen through membership in Sveriges Västkustfiskares Centralförbund. Sweden Pelagic receives large quantities of herring from vessels, which are then processed and filleted in our production to become a raw material for the canning industry. This product is sold to customers both in Sweden and abroad. We are now seeking additional full-time employees who want to be part of our key personnel.

Job Description

You will be part of our team working with automated fish processing. We consider it a big plus if you have a forklift license and experience from the food industry, but it is not a requirement. An important part of the job is to ensure that the machinery is optimized for the best outcomes in production. Over time, you will also be involved in quality assessment and internal reporting.

The employment is for a permanent full-time position. A probationary period of 6 months applies. We will also be seeking operators for the season from August to October.

We will provide thorough internal training and have an experienced colleague as a mentor for as long as needed. Our main production is highly seasonal, which means we need to have extended weeks during our high season, which mainly lasts from August to October. During this time, some weekend work is scheduled. This also means that during low and mid-seasons, you may need to work outside your regular work areas.

If needed, we have some access to accommodation near the workplace for those living further away. We are affiliated with the collective agreement of Livsmedelsarbetareförbundet.

We will conduct interviews and hire on an ongoing basis, so submit your application as soon as possible.
