• Quality Control: Conduct post-clean inspections to ensure the site is ready for the next day's production.
• Equipment Care: Maintain and safely store industrial cleaning equipment and chemicals.

What We Are Looking For

This is a demanding environment that requires stamina and a "can-do" attitude. To be successful, you will need:

• Background: Proven experience in Industrial or Manufacturing cleaning (Food/Beverage experience is highly preferred).
• Leadership: Experience leading or supervising a team in a manual labor setting.
• License: A Full UK Driving License is essential.
• Resilience: Comfort working in wet, cold, and physically demanding environments (seafood factory setting).
• Technical Skill: Experience with jet washing and the handling of cleaning chemicals.

Why Join Mitie?

• Structured Shift Pattern: Enjoy a consistent 4-on, 3-off schedule, giving you a better work-life balance.

• Career Growth: Access to industry-leading training and opportunities to progress within one of the UK's largest facilities management companies.
• Benefits: Competitive salary, pension scheme, retail discounts.
