Thomakis Yogurt Ltd. — Port Coquitlam, BC Part-time · 3 days per week, 6–8 hours per day · $23.00/hour Start times vary week to week, typically between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM

Overview

Thomakis Yogurt is a Greek yogurt manufacturer in Port Coquitlam. We make traditionally strained yogurt — no thickeners, no shortcuts — in our own CFIA- and BCCDC-licensed dairy plant. We're a small team, so the person in this role has a direct hand in every cup that leaves the building.

Responsibilities

- Operate the filler, sealer, and date coder; fill, code, label, and case finished product
- Palletize, wrap, and stage finished goods for cold storage
- Clean and sanitize packaging line; complete pre-operational checks
- Complete production and sanitation records accurately, in real time
- Follow GMPs, HACCP procedures, and all documented SOPs
- Train into the earlier stages of production — raw milk receiving, pasteurizing, and incubation
- Pitch in across the plant as needed — in a small operation, everyone ends up wearing a few hats!

Qualifications

- No experience needed; prior food or manufacturing work is a bonus, not a requirement
- A sense of ownership — you notice when something isn't right and deal with it instead of walking past it
- High hygiene standards and close attention to detail — you don't cut corners on sanitation, even at the end of a long shift
- Comfortable with basic math,



and able to follow written procedures and record data accurately in English
- Able to repeatedly lift 50 lbs and stay on your feet, bending and reaching, for a full shift
- Comfortable in wet conditions and coolers (~2°C)
- Reliable and punctual, available during weekdays
- Your own CSA-approved steel-toed waterproof boots
- FOODSAFE Level 1 preferred but not required, and legally entitled to work in Canada
- Adaptable on start times — typically between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Our start times shift with the production schedule, so this one is a real requirement. We confirm your shifts a week ahead, but we can't guarantee the same start time every week

What We Offer

- $23.00 per hour
- Full on-the-job training, and we'll cover your FOODSAFE certification
- Employee yogurt program — free product to take home!
- Your shifts confirmed a full week in advance, so you can plan around them
