Job description

Who Are We?

We love seafood, but we really love people. They are our heartbeat, and our communities are our heartland.

Tassal is Australia’s largest seafood producer, processor, marketer and distributor, employing around 2,000 people across the country. Our purpose is Sustainably Feeding Tomorrow, which we deliver by responsibly farming salmon, prawns and barramundi in Australia and supplying these products both locally and internationally.

With more than 35 years’ experience, we are industry leaders, innovators and responsible farmers who prioritise safety, sustainability and community. Tassal is part of Cooke Inc, one of the world’s largest privately owned seafood companies, offering global scale, capability and future career opportunities.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Packaging Technologist to join our passionate Innovation team on a part‑time basis (3+ days per week) for a 6‑month contract, with potential to extend.

In this role, you will play a key part in delivering Tassal’s packaging sustainability agenda, supporting our APCO commitments and contributing to New Product Development projects. You will partner closely with cross‑functional teams across Marketing, Innovation, Procurement and Supply Chain to ensure projects are delivered on time, in full, and aligned with our strategic goals.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with FMCG packaging experience who is seeking flexibility, enjoys hands‑on project delivery, and is motivated by creating meaningful sustainability outcomes.

What You Will Do

  • Lead and deliver packaging sustainability and NPD projects
  • Manage the end‑to‑end project lifecycle, including timelines, documentation, customer portal requirements, PREP assessments and packaging trials
  • Facilitate collaboration across multiple stakeholders to drive progress and resolve issues
  • Partner with suppliers and Procurement to prioritise opportunities across the packaging sustainability pipeline
  • Ensure all packaging meets regulatory, APCO and internal quality requirements

About You

To be successful in this role, you will bring :

  • Qualifications in Packaging Technology or a related discipline
  • 3+ years’ experience in a packaging role within FMCG (short shelf‑life products highly regarded)
  • Strong knowledge of APCO requirements, regulatory standards and food packaging compliance
  • Experience conducting PREP assessments and applying ARL
  • Well‑developed project management capability, including stage and gate processes
  • Strong communication and influencing skills
  • Experience working within cross‑functional environments
  • A proactive, optimistic mindset with excellent problem‑solving skills
  • What’s in It for You?

  • A strategic, hands‑on role with a leading Australian brand
  • Flexible, part‑time working arrangement
  • Collaborative and supportive team environment
  • Externally recognised Employer of Choice
  • A paid day off to celebrate your birthday
  • Access to our Employee Assistance Program for you and your immediate family
  • Being part of a global organisation with expanding interests in seafood
  • How to Apply

    Applications will be reviewed as they are received.

    Please note that applications will not be accepted via email.
