Packaging Operative

You will be working on modern, automated bottling and canning lines, operating at pace in a controlled, quality-critical manufacturing environment. The role requires hands-on involvement with production equipment, adherence to strict procedures, and active participation in problem solving on the line.

You will work closely with Brewing, Engineering, Quality and Distribution, making this a key operational role within the wider brewery. This role suits someone who is already comfortable working on a production line and understands the demands of a manufacturing setting, including, monitoring and operating automated machinery, responding to line stoppages and quality issues, carrying out format and product changeovers and working to defined SOPs, safety standards and quality systems. Our packaging shift team is relatively small, so the ability to communicate clearly, collaborate effectively and take responsibility is essential.

Working Patterns

You will be required to work Monday to Friday on an alternating 2-shift pattern:

6:00am – 2:30pm

1:30pm – 10:00pm

To be considered for this role, you must have:

Previous experience working on a production or manufacturing line (e.g. food & drink, FMCG, pharmaceuticals, or similar)

Experience working in an environment with formal quality standards (BRC, ISO, SALSA or equivalent)

A strong understanding of process-driven working and health & safety

The ability to identify problems on the line and respond logically

Confidence communicating within a small team

Experience operating and changing formats on automated packaging equipment
