Maintenance Electrician Team Leader - Night Shift

Every fridge tells a story. This one is ours — and it’s getting bigger.

Chobani Australia was formed in 2011 following the acquisition of Gippsland Dairy, alongside the Chobani brand. Guided by our belief that food can be a force for good — and our purpose, Good Food For All — we make Chobani and Gippsland Dairy yogurt in Dandenong South, focusing on food that’s delicious, nutritious, natural and accessible.

We’re building the next chapter of growth — investing in major site upgrades and new capability to meet demand and deliver on our aspiration: in every fridge, everywhere, every day.

Chobani is a place for people who like pace and ownership. We keep standards high, back people to stretch, and hire for attitude — if you set goals, deliver, learn fast and keep raising the bar, you’ll feel right at home here.
