Key Responsibilities:
  • Set up, operate, and monitor production machinery
    • Troubleshoot and resolve minor mechanical or operational issues
    • Complete production checks, records, and paperwork accurately
    • Maintain high standards of quality, hygiene, and safety
    • Work in accordance with BRCGS standards
    • Support continuous production and efficiency targets

Key requirements:
  • Previous machine setting and operating experience is essential (12 months minimum)
    • Strong verbal and written English skills
    • Proven ability keeping pace with past-faced, high-volume environments and meeting KPI standards
    • Good attention to detail and problem-solving ability

Shifts will rotate between 6:00am–2:00pm and 2:00pm–10:00pm after a brief period of training on days.
