At Paulig, we believe every meal, cup, and moment should be full of flavour — and that bold ideas can make the world a tastier, more sustainable place. As a house of iconic brands, we can make an impact that counts – and careers that matter.

We are now looking for a Processing Operator at our Ocker Hill Factory in Tipton, UK, to join our passionate team and help us shape the future of food and beverages.

Your role in the blend

As Processing Operator, you’ll be at the heart of our process — ensuring quality, safety, and efficiency at every step. You’ll work alongside a dedicated team, following best practices and contributing to a clean, safe, and high-performing process environment.

In this role, you will:

  • Unpack and decant ingredients for production, recording the correct traceability codes and ensuring all materials are correctly labelled and accounted for.
  • Produce a variety of sauces, including BBQ, salsas, condiments, curries, and specialty blends, by accurately mixing ingredients, and perform quality checks on finished products, documenting results and reporting any abnormalities to senior team members.
  • Maintain cleanliness and hygiene across the process area, carrying out Clean As You Go (CAYG) practices and supporting the Kitchen Supervisor and Team Leader with hygiene schedules and waste management.
  • Operate in full compliance with the Quality Management System (QMS) and Health & Safety Management System (SHE), always adhering to PPE guidelines and promptly reporting any issues.
  • Communicate clearly and professionally with your team, contribute to briefings, and actively support team goals — including optimising processing performance and upholding world-class production standards.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
