General Worker (Meat Wrapper / Packer / Front-End)

Pay: From $20.00/hour (based on experience)

For over 50 years, Gunter Brothers Meat Co. has been a family-owned butcher shop rooted in the Comox Valley, proudly supporting farmers and ranchers across Vancouver Island.

We’re stepping into a new chapter—raising the standard even higher of how we work, how we show up as a team, and the pride we take in every product leaving our shop.

Our company believes that great teams are built from all kinds of experiences, personalities, and perspectives. We're a workplace where everyone is treated with inclusivity and respect.

We’re looking for ambitious people who want to be part of that.

The Kind of Team We’re Building

We’re building a team of people who:

- Take pride in even the smallest details of their work
- Respect their teammates and contribute to a positive, supportive environment
- Show up motivated, ready to work, and ready to contribute
- Hold themselves to a high standard—and rise to meet ours
- Know how to stay efficient while still enjoying the day

This role matters. You’re often the final set of eyes on a product before it leaves our shop—or the first impression a customer has of our business.

If that responsibility excites you, we would love to have you here!

What You’ll Do

- Wrap, label, and package meat products with accuracy and care
- Maintain clean, organized, and efficient workstations
- Assist with basic processing tasks and daily production flow
- Support front-end customer service when needed (greeting customers, answering questions, handling orders)
- Ensure all products meet our quality standards before leaving the shop
- Help with general shop duties (cleaning, organizing, restocking)
- Work collaboratively with the team to keep operations running smoothly

What We’re Looking For

- Strong work ethic and attention to detail
- A positive attitude and willingness to learn
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced,



refrigerated environment
- Physically capable (heavy lifting, being on your feet for extended periods)
- Reliable, punctual, and accountable
- A team-first mindset with respect for others

Previous experience in food service, retail, agriculture, or production environments is an asset—but not required. We’re happy to train the right people!

Assets (Required)

- Basic English
- Class 5 driver’s license
- Reliable transportation to and from work

Assets (Nice to Have)

- Food Safe certification
- Customer service experience
- WorkSafeBC training

We’d also love team members who are open to being featured on our social media (completely optional—but a excellent way to showcase the people behind the work).

What We Offer

- Full-time and part-time opportunities
- Monday–Friday schedule (8:00am–5:00pm)
- Weekends & statutory holidays off
- $100.00 steel-toed boot credit
- Overtime opportunities available
- Extended health & dental benefits after 3 months
- On-site parking

A workplace where your effort matters, your team supports you, and the work you do is something you can be proud of.
