If you’re on the same machine every day doing the same job, this will feel very different.

In this role you’ll move across different high speed, highly automated machines and different areas across our site. You'll be making different products on different setups and experiences different challenges.

What the job feels like

  • You’ll be trained properly, one to one, by experienced operators. McCauley, Darren and Steve will be part of that. Between them they’ve got years of experience, and they take pride in passing that on.

  • You’ll work across a range of automated, high speed machines

  • You’ll have people around you who will help, not just leave you to it, whether that's our Technical Team, Engineers or the People Team.

  • It will feel busy and fast and some days will be full on, but you'll never be left to struggle
What people notice when they join

It’s the way people treat each other, you’re not seen as “just an operator”, everything and everyone is on one site and everyone works as one team.

But don't just take our word for it, we recently received Great Place To Work accreditation and here's what our people had to say:

"I enjoy the vibes and friendliness of the company, I have felt like I fit in from the start so appreciate a welcoming environment. This encourages a productive environment"

"The respect people get irrespective of their culture and tribe"

"The most distinctive thing about this company is the way it combines high standards with genuine humanity. Many organisations claim to value people, but here it’s visible in everyday behavior: colleagues support one another, leaders are accessible, and decisions are made with integrity rather than convenience. That creates an atmosphere where people feel trusted, respected, and able to do their best work."

Over 30% of the team have been here 10 years or more.

The role

  • Be a key team member, supporting the Shift Managers and Management team in the delivery of performance and resolution of issues.

  • Running multiple high speed production machines

  • Spotting issues early and keeping things running
We’re looking for production experience, a good attitude and someone who wants to learn, and we’ll teach you the rest.

Pay: Up to £15\.36 per hour

  • Discounted or free food

  • Enhanced maternity leave

  • Enhanced paternity leave
