The hourly pay rate is £16.62.

What you become part of: Sidcup Operations plays a pivotal role within the CCEP network, producing around 50% of the GB SKU portfolio. The site offers a one‑stop shop to the GB Market with single‑sourced packages from Sidcup, such as the wide portfolio range of small cans. Across their seven manufacturing lines the site can produce 480,000 cans, 96,000 PET bottles, and 48,000 glass bottles every hour.

About the Role: As an Operator you’ll play a key part in keeping our manufacturing operations running smoothly. You’ll work across Goods In, Process, and Manufacturing, moving materials safely, operating machinery, completing basic maintenance and hygiene tasks, and supporting quality, safety, and environmental standards. This is an entry‑level role, so full training will be provided. You’ll gain valuable hands‑on experience in a fast‑paced production environment while working as part of a supportive team that focuses on safety, efficiency, and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

• Safely move, load, and unload materials and finished goods.
• Ensure materials are stored, issued, and returned correctly.
• Operate equipment safely, supporting start‑up, change‑over, and shutdown activities.
• Monitor production lines and report any issues or faults promptly.
• Carry out routine cleaning and basic maintenance to keep equipment and areas in good condition.
• Complete quality and safety checks in line with site standards.
• Follow all health, safety, and environmental procedures.
• Collaborate with the team to meet daily targets and maintain high standards.
• Contribute ideas to improve processes, safety, and efficiency.

What We’re Looking For

This role is ideal for someone who is reliable, proactive, and eager to learn. You’ll receive full training, so previous experience isn’t required—just a positive attitude and a commitment to working safely and effectively as part of a team.

Nice to Have

• Ability to conduct basic maintenance, fault‑finding, or troubleshooting.
• Strong teamwork, communication, and problem‑solving skills.
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced production environment.
• Experience in food, beverage, or FMCG manufacturing (helpful but not essential).
• Interest in continuous improvement or lean manufacturing principles.

We are an equal‑opportunity employer and welcome people of all backgrounds. We value diversity and inclusivity and strive to create a workplace where everyone can belong.
