The Role
As a Production Operator, you’ll support the safe and efficient operation of HIP vessels, preparing, loading, operating and unloading equipment in line with written procedures and quality standards. You’ll complete production documentation accurately, support Goods In and Despatch activities, and work closely with Production, Maintenance and Quality teams to keep operations running smoothly.
You’ll also assist with general production activities, minor maintenance tasks and housekeeping, while ensuring suppliers, customers and drivers are dealt with professionally. You’ll be trained to operate new equipment and support additional HIP vessels as business needs develop.
