About Kepak:

Kepak Group is a proud Irish company and one of Europe’s leading meat processors. Our well‑known brands — including Rustlers and Big Al’s — are enjoyed in households across the country, and we partner with many of Ireland’s top supermarkets.

At Kepak, we’re ambitious about growing our business, but equally committed to helping our people grow their skills, careers and job satisfaction. When you join us, you become part of a team that values hard work, development and opportunity.

Our Kepak Cork site is based in Watergrasshill, Co. Cork — just 35 minutes from Cork City and 20 minutes from Fermoy — offering a strong, supportive workplace in a well‑established facility.

Positions Available:

  • We are currently seeking motivated individuals to join our team at Kepak Cork. As part of our multi‑cultural and diverse workforce, you’ll have the opportunity to learn, develop and build your knowledge of the food industry. We are committed to supporting internal growth, offering real opportunities to progress your career within the business.
  • Kepak Cork is now recruiting for roles within our Retail Department, where you will play an important part in our production operations.

Please note: The factory is situated in a location with limited access to public transport, so reliable private transport is recommended.

Working hours: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, 6:00 am to 4:00 pm

Please note that an occasional night shift cover (4:00 pm – 2:00 am) will be required. This may be needed to cover annual leave, sickness absence, or other operational requirements.

  • Packaging a variety of meat products, including steaks, chops, burgers, meatballs and other items as required.
  • Handling pork, beef and lamb products as part of daily duties.
  • Working in a temperature‑controlled (chilled) environment for the duration of your shift.
  • Carrying out general production activities that may involve movement and being on your feet for extended periods.
  • Operating machinery only after full training has been provided.
  • Supporting additional tasks as directed by your Line Supervisor, depending on operational needs.

Requirements

What we need from you?

  • Previous food production experience is an advantage, but not essential
  • Manufacturing experience is beneficial, though full training will be provided
  • A strong work ethic, good character and a self‑driven attitude
  • Power Pallet Truck or Forklift experience is helpful, but training can be arranged
  • Ability to use your own initiative and work independently when required
  • Flexibility with working hours to support operational needs
  • A positive, energetic approach and willingness to work as part of a team
  • Ability to perform in a fast‑paced environment
  • Willingness to learn and support additional tasks when needed

  • Effective communication skills
  • Strong attention to detail

  • Wage increases linked to internal training and skill development
  • Career progression opportunities within the business
  • Ability to purchase cash‑sale company produce
  • Full training provided for all roles
  • Permanent contract

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
