Job description

In this full time Machine Operator role, you will ensure the smooth operation of our paper converting machines, performing checks and ensuring quality meets specifications.

You will work a 4 on 4 off, 12-hour shift pattern of both days (06:00-18:00) and nights (18:00-06:00).

Periodically, you will need to make minor adjustments to ensure accuracy, referring to your job cards and complete documentation correctly.

To ensure zero harm, you will need to conduct pre-use lifting and equipment guarding checks, maintain housekeeping standards, and submit monthly safety observations.

We are passionate about continuous improvement, and it is crucial that our colleagues seek out opportunities for improvement where possible, sharing any great ideas you have.

Job Requirements

What we need from you:

Technical and mechanical mindset, to enable you to set up our machines correctly and efficiently identify any faults to minimise/avoid downtime.

Experience in a fast-paced FMCG Production environment would be fantastic, particularly with large tissue or paper rewinders.

Critical thinking with an inquisitive mindset (i.e. confidence to challenge) will go a long way.

Ideally, you will have previous experience operating a Converting Line within the tissue or paper industry. If not, we are still open to hearing from candidates from within the Food sector or other FMCG environments.
