What you’ll be doing

This is a hands-on role, and you’ll be part of a fast-paced manufacturing environment, operating process equipment and supporting production within your department. Over timey ou’ll become multi-skilled through structured training and on-the-job learning, with the opportunity to gain your FLT (Forklift Truck) licence on-site. Some tasks will be repetitive, while others demand a high level of precision and attention to detail or physical endurance. The environment can be dusty, noisy and industrial, with occasional exposure to vapours - but full PPE and safety training are provided.

Key responsibilities include:

• Safe and efficient operation of plant and machinery
• Minimising waste and maximising raw material use
• Supporting continuous improvement activities
• Working closely with Team Leaders, Quality, Planning, Logistics, and Maintenance teams

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for reliable, hands-on individuals who thrive in a team environment and take pride in producing quality work. While some tasks are repetitive, maintaining focus, accuracy, and momentum throughout your shift is key to meeting production goals. It’s not just about doing your own job well – it's about pulling together as a team to keep the whole operation running smoothly and safely.

Your attitude, attention to detail, and willingness to get stuck in matter just as much as your experience.

Essential:

• Strong awareness of Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) standards
• Excellent team player with clear, respectful communication skills
• High standards of housekeeping and process discipline
• Comfortable working in a physical, production-based environment
• Reliable and able to maintain focus during repetitive tasks

Desirable:

• FLT licence (or willingness to train – we’ll fund this!)
• COSHH or Health & Safety-related qualifications
• IT awareness and/or basic machine maintenance skills
