Skilled Production Operative

Our people are Heroes

We think our people here at Samworth Brothers are the best out there! So, let’s talk about them first.

We are constantly in awe of their dedication to get the job done and the commitment they show. We are also super proud of having such a multicultural team of welcoming, spirited people who look out for each other’s interests and thrive on getting the job done but having fun doing it. In fact, half of our people have been with us for more than 5 years…and many a lot longer than that.

They all have the same mission in mind - to keep our lines running and to be truly proud of what goes out the door. No matter the challenge, they all come together…. because that’s what families do.

So what’s the job all about?

• Machine Setup and liaise with Engineering team any concerns or changes to kit and ensure the Trepko and Grote is in working order and safe to use.
• Keep the area workspace clear & clean and minimise waste on packaging materials and labels. To ensure CCP checks are carried out and recorded correctly, ensure labels, packaging codes and date codes are correct and follow Procedures.
• To check product quality and highlight any issues to the Team Leader and minimise rejects and rewraps, reporting accordingly.

Up, up and away!

So what about the next job after this one. What about Progression? Team Leader? Why not? Management role? Now you’re talking. We love the idea that you could come in here and really make something of yourself. So, we’ll encourage you every step of the way—all you have to do is show us that sparkle of innovation.
