You’ll bring:

• An understanding of health and safety, food safety and hygiene requirements within a production environment.

• Good organisational skills, with the ability to manage tasks efficiently and maintain accurate records.
• A proactive approach to identifying issues and supporting effective production.
• The ability to work independently while contributing positively to a wider team.
• A reliable and flexible approach, with good attendance and punctuality.

It would be great if you also have:

• Previous experience in food production, manufacturing or a similar FMCG environment.
• Experience operating production lines, machinery or automated equipment.
• Basic troubleshooting skills and an understanding of how to minimise production downtime.

Above all, you’ll be committed to maintaining high standards, working safely and taking ownership of your responsibilities. You’ll share our values: Be Better, Be Collaborative, Be Inquisitive, Be Yourself and Take Ownership.

We help our people become the best versions of themselves, take pride in what they do and bring out the strength in others. If that excites you — you’ll fit right in here.
