• Stacking finished items safely onto pallets
• Keeping your work area clean and organised
• Following production instructions and health and safety procedures
• Communicating clear with colleagues and supervisors

What we are looking for

• Reliable, punctual and committed
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced production environment
• Able to communicate clear in English
