What you’ll be doing (and why it matters)

You’ll be responsible for moving finished goods safely and efficiently across the production and stores areas.

You’ll operate FLT equipment daily, carrying out checks and ensuring materials are handled without damage.

You’ll weigh, record and update stock accurately using internal systems — meaning attention to detail genuinely matters here.

You’ll support decanting and relabelling requirements to meet customer needs and help maintain high presentation standards.

You’ll also support plant efficiency by reporting defects, communicating at shift handovers and working closely with the team leader.

This is hands-on work with responsibility. Not just driving — but owning your area.

What you’ll need

  • Valid (in date) FLT licence - counterbalance (essential)

  • Manufacturing experience

  • Strong awareness of Health & Safety

  • Good numerical ability

  • A high standard of care and attention to detail

If you take pride in doing things properly and working safely, you’ll fit well.

What kind of environment is this?

This is a production-focused manufacturing site with clear KPIs around:

  • Quality

  • Productivity

  • OTIF

  • Environmental standards

  • H&S performance

You’ll attend daily handovers and production meetings — so communication matters.

This is a business that values reliability, teamwork and doing things right first time.
