RJ’s Confectionery is a well-established, market-leading confectionery manufacturer, proudly producing licorice in Levin for over 30 years. We’re known for our innovative, high-quality products and strong reputation in the industry. As we continue to Make It Even Better, demand for our products keeps growing.
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join the RJ’s team, who will progress to learn how to operate our wide range of equipment and machinery.

At RJ’s, we Make It Better Together, so a positive, can-do attitude, willingness to learn, and strong teamwork skills are essential. A respectful communication style and reliable attendance are also key expectations for this role.
To be successful you will:
The starting hourly rate is $25.11, guaranteed to increase to $26.17 after six months. Beyond that, your earning potential is clearly mapped out — the more skills you develop, the more you can earn. We believe in rewarding our team members for their skills, and we actively encourage ongoing growth and development.
We also offer:
• KiwiSaver contributions matched up to 4%
• A monthly credit to use in our onsite retail shop
Experience in food manufacturing, FMCG, or machine operation would be Fabulicious — but it’s not essential. We embrace All Sorts, so if this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
To Make It Simple, all applications must be submitted via Trade Me. Applications will be reviewed as they are received. Applications will only be reviewed if the screening questions are completed and a CV is attached.
