Duties will include:
- Receiving and preparing raw materials for production

- Moving materials and finished goods around site using a Counterbalance Forklift
- Assisting with equipment checks, cleaning schedules and general housekeeping
- Supporting continuous improvement and maintaining a safe working environment
- Working closely with colleagues to ensure production targets are achieved
About You
We're looking for someone who enjoys working in a manufacturing environment and isn't afraid to get stuck in.
You will have:
- A valid national Counterbalance Forklift licence
- Previous manufacturing, production, processing or industrial experience
- Experience working around machinery or automated equipment
- Strong awareness of Health & Safety procedures
- Good attention to detail and quality standards
- The ability to work independently and as part of a team

- Early finish to the working day
- Stable, long-established employer
