Mathilde
Universal operator in the cheese unit
Mathilde is a universal operator in the cheese processing unit, turning milk into brie. She’s also responsible for process improvement and organisation.
Feeling confident
After passing her advanced technician certificate in food science and technology, Mathilde joined the Laïta cheese unit in Ancenis (44) after submitting a speculative job enquiry, and worked on a study-release basis while studying for a vocational degree. After completing her studies, she was given a temporary contract and then a permanent position. "I’ve always been keen to work in the agri-food industry, the processing part of it in particular, because you see every stage of the transformation from raw material to finished product. That’s why I lost no time getting involved in the adventure when I joined Laïta, in a team I felt at home with. My colleagues and managers all put their trust in me, and that’s important to me!"
Varied and interesting duties
Mathilde est maintenant opératrice polyvalente sur trois postes en production dans l'atelier qui transforme le lait en brie.
Mathilde is now a universal operator on three production lines in the unit where milk is transformed into brie. She’s also in charge of replacements in the pasteuriser, the spreader and the drying room (a ventilated room where soft cheeses are left to dry prior to maturing). Mathilde is also investigating any improvements that can be made to the unit’s processes and organisation, at the behest of her superiors. "My duties are varied and interesting. In the medium term I’d like to move up into a managerial role. The various trades within the organisation and in the dairy industry as a whole offer many different possibilities for internal promotion."
