This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career within a major manufacturing business.

- Monitoring the condition of plant, equipment and processes, identifying potential issues at an early stage.
- Inspecting material handling equipment and reporting any defects to engineering and management teams.
- Taking appropriate corrective action where possible and working with relevant teams to minimise disruption to operations.
- Completing accurate stock checks and updating the relevant systems when required.
- Following all company health, safety, environmental and operating procedures.
What we are looking for:
- A positive, reliable and hardworking attitude.
- Someone who enjoys working as part of a team and is willing to get stuck in.
- Previous warehouse, logistics, manufacturing or material-handling experience would be an advantage, but full training will be provided for the right person.
- Someone who is motivated to build a long-term career and progress within the business.
- Good attention to detail and the ability to work accurately.
- Good IT skills and confidence in learning new systems.
- A willingness to learn and develop within a manufacturing environment.
