The Job:

We are looking for reliable and hardworking Production Operatives to join a busy production and manufacturing environment, working with dried food goods (including chutneys at points).

• Working as part of a busy production team to meet daily targets
• Completing repetitive production tasks accurately and efficiently
• Reporting any issues with products, equipment or packaging

This is a busy industrial production and packing environment, so candidates should be aware that:

• The work can be repetitive, with periods of carrying out the same task for extended periods
• Working with dried goods can create a dusty environment

• You will be on your feet for most of the shift
• The role can be physically active and requires a good level of concentration
• You may be required to work across both Paulton and Emborough sites
• NO JEWELLERY IS PERMITTED

The Ideal Candidate:

• Happy working around dust and machinery noise
• Physically capable of being on your feet throughout the shift
• Able to follow instructions and work to set production procedures
• Quality-focused, with good attention to detail
• Comfortable working to production targets
• A positive and supportive team player

Previous experience in food production, packing, manufacturing or warehouse environments would be an advantage, but full training can be provided.
