  • Supporting the operation of fixed production plant and assisting with production activities across the site

  • Monitoring product quality, dispatching materials and ensuring production records and plant logs are accurately maintained

  • Maintaining high housekeeping standards across plant areas, equipment and surrounding workspaces to ensure a safe and tidy environment

  • Responding promptly to operational issues and breakdowns, working closely with site management and maintenance teams to minimise downtime

Who you are

  • You work well as part of a team and communicate effectively with colleagues across site operations

  • You are organised, reliable and able to work efficiently within a fast-paced production environment

  • You take pride in maintaining high safety and housekeeping standards and approach tasks with a proactive attitude
