Unlike a standard production role where you may work on the same process every day, as a Float Operator you'll be trained across multiple areas of production, stepping in where support is needed and developing a broad range of practical manufacturing skills.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is adaptable, hands-on and eager to learn, with ongoing work and genuine permanent prospects for the right person.

Basic machine set-up
Technical or hands-on production processes

Could You Be the Right Fit?
