Machine Operator - Chicken Factory

You enjoy working with a clear rhythm and know what is expected of you. In this role, you are independently responsible for your machines in a large, stable production environment. Work where you make an immediate impact — every single day.

You will be working for one of the largest food processing companies in the Netherlands, located in the Ommel region. With approximately 800 employees, this is a stable and professional work environment where quality and efficiency are central.

The company processes chicken products into finished products for the European market — no slaughtering, but processing and production. The machines run at fixed times, the processes are organized, and clear daily schedules are used. For people who love structure and certainty, this is an ideal work environment.

The organization offers long-term work with prospects: after 12 months, there is the possibility of a direct contract with the client itself.

As a Machine Operator in the Preparation department, you are responsible for operating one or more machines. The machines you operate vary by day or week — you adapt based on the daily schedule and the needs on the work floor.
