Contract Type: 12-Month Contract, Full-Time

Hours: 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday (08:00 - 16:00) We are looking for practical, motivated team players to join our onsite manufacturing team in Loughborough. In this entry-level role, you will start by packing chemical containers and outer packaging.

Packing & Assembly: Pack various chemical products into different container styles and outer packaging according to daily schedules and work orders.

Equipment Operation: Use manual and automatic packaging equipment, including filling and labeling machines.

Warehouse Prep: Palletize, strap, and stretch-wrap finished goods to make sure they are safe to transport to the warehouse.

Safety & Compliance: Follow all safety rules (including COSHH, waste handling, and manual handling guidelines) and wear your provided safety gear.

Workspace Upkeep: Keep your work area clean and tidy (5S standards) and assist with basic routine maintenance on equipment.

What We Are Looking For

Fitness & Motivation: You should be physically fit and healthy, as this role involves regular manual handling and packing.

Safety First: A strong awareness of health and safety guidelines and the ability to follow instructions closely.

Team Players: Someone who works well with others, communicates clearly, and is reliable.

Basic Skills: Good reading, writing, and basic computer entry skills.

Experience: No degrees, certifications, or prior manufacturing experience are required-we will teach you everything you need to know.
