Job description

Blended Products is a specialist in compressed industrial gases and chemical blending, and we are expanding our operations team. We offer full, structured training across every part of this role — no industry experience needed. But more than a skilled operator, we're looking for someone who sees this as the start of something, not just their next position.

If you're the kind of person who takes pride in their work, enjoys learning new skills, and wants to be part of a team that genuinely looks after its people — we think you'll feel at home here.

THE KIND OF PERSON WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Experience in our industry isn't essential. What matters more is who you are:

• Common sense and initiative — you read a situation and do the right thing without needing to be told
• Energy and enthusiasm — you bring it to what you do, even when the work is demanding
• Tenacity — when something is challenging, you work through it rather than around it
• A genuine curiosity and desire to learn — the training here is thorough and hands‑on, and the people who get the most from it are the ones who embrace it
• A team player who can also work independently — you'll rely on others and others will rely on you, and both matter
• A serious attitude towards Health & Safety — we operate in a specialist environment where following correct procedures isn't optional, it's everything. We need someone who understands that and takes personal responsibility for it, every single day
• Pride in doing things properly — accuracy and attention to detail matter here, and we need someone who shares those values

WHAT THE ROLE INVOLVES

Day shifts, Monday to Friday, on our production site near Brigg:

• Operating compressed gas transfer plants
• Forklift operation — FLT certificate helpful but we can train you
• Loading and unloading HGV’s with a forklift truck
• Basic plant maintenance — inspection, diagnosis, and rectification
• Accurate hourly and daily production records
• Basic computer and numeracy skills used daily

THE TRAINING

We invest seriously in our people. When you join, you'll go through a comprehensive training programme covering every aspect of the role — gas transfer, chemical handling, quality control, plant maintenance, and more.

We're looking for someone who'll value that investment as much as we do — and who wants to build something here for the long term.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

• A practical, hands‑on approach to your work
• Basic numeracy and IT skills
• Good communication — you'll work with your team and with others across the site
• The energy and drive to show up and give it your all
• GCSE level or equivalent (preferred, not essential)

WHAT WE OFFER

• Starting £27,000 per year
• Company pension
• Full funded training programme — structured, hands‑on, and built around you
• Day shifts — 7.5 hours, Monday to Friday
