About YPS
Yorkshire Packaging Systems (YPS) is the UK’s expert in automated wrapping systems and flexible films, with over four decades of experience.
The Opportunity
To join a rapidly expanding owner managed business with a clear vision for future growth, delivering exceptional customer service through quality products, services and employee well-being.
The engineering department delivers exceptional customer service on a daily basis and has the most customer contact of any department in the business. Therefore, your day-to-day contribution will be instrumental in driving continual improvements and in cementing our brand’s position as the leader of our industry.
Although a demand-driven role occasionally requiring the need to be able to deviate from a planned schedule, you are backed up by a wider team of service and spares planners to help maintain as much pro-activity as possible to keep excess travel and overnight stays to a minimum and spread evenly across the team.
Customer focus is very much at the heart of YPS so investment is and always will be provided to continually improve this where possible. This is not a job opportunity but we believe a career opportunity providing personal growth with continual training and rising earnings.
