    We are seeking enthusiastic individuals to join our team to support the manufacturing of dry pellets, a critical component of our Rhizopellets. The dry pellet is a substrate used to house mycorrhizal fungi, providing shelter and nutrients.

The manual work involved in this role is perfect for those who find satisfaction in hands-on tasks.

    This is an exciting opportunity to join our team and start building your network with experienced professionals. The postholder will receive training in basic lab work and gain valuable work experience in a unique manufacturing process.

    Main Tasks:

    • Preparing the dough, inc. operating mixer

    • Filling moulds

    • Operating dryers

    • Releasing pellets from moulds

    • Packaging and labelling

    • Maintaining a database of production records

    • Stock management

    • Cleaning

    Qualifications:

    This job doesn't require any special qualifications, but the ideal candidate should have the right mindset to enjoy the work. If you like working in an orderly manner and take pleasure in producing high-quality products, find satisfaction in hands-on work and organizing workflows, you are willing to collaborate with colleagues and you are eager to contribute to a meaningful mission, we encourage you to apply!
