About Pikko
Pikko is Australia’s first fresh cat food subscription brand, based in Perth. We make premium, human-grade meals for cats using Aussie meats and organs, gently cooked, portioned, vacuum-sealed and frozen for freshness.
We are a small but growing Perth startup on a mission to change the way cats eat across Australia.
The Role
We are looking for a reliable and hardworking Kitchen Hand / Food Production Assistant to help in our Rivervale production kitchen.
This is a hands-on role supporting food preparation, cooking, packing, cleaning and general production. You will be helping make fresh meals for cats across WA.

Cat parents are especially welcome.
