Glenbervie, Aberdeenshire | Permanent | Full-time | Rotating Shifts

Description

Looking for a hands-on role where no two shifts are quite the same? We’re growing our Production teams at Macphie and have a number of opportunities available across our Glenbervie manufacturing site.

As a Production Operative, you'll play an important part in making the food ingredients and products that leave our site every day. From operating production equipment and monitoring processes to preparing ingredients, packing finished products and carrying out quality checks, you'll be right at the heart of our manufacturing operation.

We have opportunities across several different production areas, each involving slightly different processes and equipment. You don't need to know which area would suit you best before applying – that's where our recruitment process comes in.

We're looking for people who enjoy practical, hands-on work, take pride in doing things properly and understand the importance of safety, quality and teamwork. Previous food manufacturing experience would be useful, but it's not the only thing we're interested in. If you've worked in a fast-paced, practical environment and have the right attitude and willingness to learn, we'd like to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

Depending on the production area you join, your role could involve:

• Operating and monitoring production and processing equipment.
• Preparing, mixing, blending and handling ingredients and products.
• Setting up and preparing packaging materials.
• Carrying out quality checks throughout the production process.
• Inspecting, packing, labelling, wrapping and palletising finished products.
• Accurately completing production, quality and food-safety documentation.
• Identifying and reporting issues with machinery, materials or finished products.
• Following strict food safety, hygiene and Health & Safety procedures.
• Keeping your working area clean and maintaining our "clean as you go" standards.
• Working closely with your Team Lead, Shift Manager and colleagues across Production, Quality, Engineering and Distribution.
• Supporting other production areas when required.

This is a hands-on manufacturing role, so you'll need to be comfortable working in a busy production environment and being on your feet throughout your shift.

Our shift patterns

Our Production teams operate different rotating shift patterns depending on the area you join.

Opportunities are available across:

Two-shift rotation

• Early: 06:00–14:00
• Back shift: 14:00–22:00

Three-shift rotation

• Early: 06:00–14:00
• Back shift: 14:00–22:00
• Night: 22:00–06:00

If you join a team where night shifts form part of your rotation, you'll receive an additional 8.5% night-shift allowance for night-shift working.

We'll talk you through the different shift patterns during the recruitment process and consider your availability alongside where your skills and experience could be the best fit.
