Job Description

At Dr. Oetker, we don’t just make pizza. We shape a better tomorrow by building teams that care about quality, consistency, and continuous improvement. Our Leyland site is where Chicago Town pizzas were first made over years ago – and we're still growing today.

Leyland is a proud member of the Pizza Production Unit (PPU) – a collaborative network across our pizza manufacturing sites focused on sharing best practice, developing expertise, and driving change. As part of the PPU, you’ll have the opportunity to influence improvement projects and contribute to shaping the future of our processes.

We’re looking for experienced production professionals who want to build a career in high-volume food manufacturing – and help us deliver the “Taste of Home” to millions.

What you’ll do as a Production Operative

• Operate machinery or support production processes in our Bakery, Topping, or Packaging areas
• Carry out quality and food safety checks (e.g., visual inspections, CCP verifications, traceability)
• Identify and escalate non-conformances in line with ISO, FSSC, GMP, and HACCP standards
• Support smooth changeovers, maintain standards, and ensure accurate completion of documentation
• Work collaboratively with your team, supervisors, and support functions to drive site performance

Full training is provided — but experience in food manufacturing, FMCG, or fast-paced production environments is a real advantage.

Why join Dr. Oetker in Leyland?

• State-of-the-art facility producing some of the UK’s leading frozen pizza brands
• Friendly and inclusive culture where every employee has a voice and we strive to be ‘better for everyone’
• Strong focus on internal promotion and development
• Modern site with high hygiene, automation, and safety standards

What we’re looking for

• A great team player who can communicate clearly and professionally
• A strong work ethic with good attention to detail
• Ability to work under pressure and follow standard operating procedures
• Proactive problem-solver who takes pride in quality
• Flexibility to work rotating shifts (AM/PM Monday to Friday)

What we offer

• Increased pay as you develop skills and responsibilities
• Days holiday including bank holidays, with service-related increases
• Skills-based development programme to support your career growth
• External apprenticeship programs supported
• Free pizzas, fresh fruit, tea & coffee – and a subsidised on-site restaurant
• Free on-site parking and EV charging points
• Private medical insurance, healthcare cash plan & sick pay
• Enhanced pension scheme (6% employer contribution)
• Cycle to Work Scheme, free health checks, and more
