With significant investment in new production lines, technology and manufacturing processes, the site is increasing capacity and continuing to develop its operation.

It's a great time to join — particularly if you're looking for the stability of a large global organisation, alongside training, development and the opportunity to build a long-term career locally.

• Week 1: Mornings – 6am to 2pm
• Week 2: Backs – 2pm to 10pm
• Week 3: Nights – 10pm to 6am

The pattern then repeats.

You must be able to work ALL THREE shifts. The shift pattern is non-negotiable.

Earn up to £15.59 per hour – equivalent to £32,427 per annum based on the highest shift rate and a 40-hour week.

• Operating an FLT safely around the site
• Loading and unloading materials

• Moving finished goods into designated storage areas
• Carrying out routine equipment and safety checks
• Ensuring materials are stored correctly and safely
• Supporting general warehouse and production activities when required
• Following all site health & safety procedures

What are we looking for?

Previous FLT experience is required and, ideally, you'll hold a current, in-date RTITB-accredited FLT licence.

• Able and willing to work the full three-shift rotation
• Confident operating an FLT within a busy environment
• Safety-conscious and responsible
• Reliable with excellent timekeeping
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a wider team
• Flexible and willing to support other areas of the operation
• Positive, practical and willing to learn

More than just an FLT job... For the right person, this is an opportunity to get your foot in the door with a major global organisation and potentially build a long-term career.
