Galmere Fresh Foods is looking for Production Staff, with or without experience.  Whether you’re looking to start a career in the food industry (many of our managers starts at this level), you want a job that can fit around your circumstances (multiple shifts available), or you want a stable position which pays competitively, this Galway based role (Ballybrit) would have you working with a progressive team based working environment.

Galmere’s journey in making great food begins by working with growers and producers to source best available ingredients.  We make soups, salads, meals and sauces for the major food retailers in Ireland; we have our own brands too, Pestle + Mortar pestos and Roots and Shoots plant friendly meals.  We rarely leave an awards ceremony empty handed, which is all down to an incredible team.

Reporting to the Team Leader/Supervisor, we need Production Staff to help us meet the highest level of hygiene, food safety and health and safety standards.  The role involves being an integral part of the team, working together across day, evening and night shifts.

Ideal Attributes:

• Excellent English and good communication skills
• Ability to work with others as a team
• A proactive, friendly  and flexible attitude
• Attentive to detail in relation to production procedures and processes 

New Team members are paid a basic hourly rate of €11.50 when training and accreditation have been completed, which is usually 4 – 6 weeks.  Pay rates increase substantially for additional skills and responsibilities, which we encourage and provide routes for.  Good premiums are paid for any work outside normal working hours and overtime.      

The environment is a key consideration in our company, since 2017 we have reduced energy usage by 14.5%, have invested in on-site digital farms to reduce food miles and water consumption, and reduced food waste by 31%. We are constantly recreating our products in the name of sustainability.  Every avenue is explored to protect our environment and in 2021 Galmere was awarded Gold Membership of Bord Bia’s Origin Green. 

We understand that during the pandemic, finding work or staying safe has been stressful for so many.  To combat this we installed PCR testing equipment on site to keep our teams safe.  All of our team members are provided with N95 masks, and we provide lab results in just over an hour. Your health is important to us as a company and we do all we can to minimise risk.
