We’re looking for a reliable and hardworking Production Support Operative to join our manufacturing team. This role is all about supporting our machine operators and helping keep production running smoothly. You’ll be responsible for preparing materials, maintaining a clean and organised work area and proactively ensuring the machine is never waiting for materials, tooling or consumables by preparing everything required for the next production run in advance.

Key Duties:

• Preparing raw material pallets ready for production.

• Hardworking with a positive attitude.
• Happy to work as part of a team.
• Able to carry out manual handling duties.
