Job description

We seek an experienced machine operator for a busy automated manufacturing facility. Previous experience operating production machinery and the ability to follow machine instructions are beneficial, although full training will be provided.

This is a temporary role with the potential to become permanent after 12 weeks.

You would be interested in learning about the machine and elements of maintenance, CAD-CAM, and be confident using a PC to update stock and job details. The client is looking for someone interested in a long-term role with a genuine permanent contract behind it. Only apply if you are seeking a committed position, as training typically lasts a couple of months to reach full capability.

This role suits an experienced machine operator looking for a varied position. Responsibilities include ensuring the machine is topped up with raw materials (which can be done as often as every 3 hours; bags may weigh around 20kg) and quality checking the products. Basic math skills are required for calculations. The role is physical, involving movement, but limited heavy lifting. Safety boots are essential.
