Machine Operative - Doncaster - £32,400 when fully trained
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to build a long-term career with a busy and growing plastic extrusion company. You will receive ongoing training in a modern, clean, warm and bright manufacturing facility. Applications are welcomed from candidates who can demonstrate a stable work history and previous experience working rotating 12-hour day and night shifts.
The role of a Machine Operative is varied and hands-on, offering the opportunity to learn a specialist manufacturing process.
Full training will be provided with salary progression linked to achieving competency and running the extrusion line independently.
Whilst training, you will be involved in operating the extrusion machines, quality checking products, packing and preparing stock for dispatch and reporting any issues to management.
You will ensure that the production line is running properly throughout the shift with the ultimate goal of programming and running the machines independently.
Communication is key in this role, and you will need to follow verbal instructions, understand the agreed production plan and record all information on the data sheets, keeping the lines clean and maintained as instructed.
To apply for the machine operative position, you will have already worked shifts and be happy with the 12-hour continental pattern.
Your CV will demonstrate stability and commitment within engineering, manufacturing or production environments where you have worked to targets and quality standards.
The end goal is to be able to run the extrusion machines independently and so previous extrusion experience would be great, however, this is not essential.
We would also like to see evidence of basic IT skills to ensure you would be comfortable inputting accurate data into relevant systems as well as a positive ‘can do’ attitude.
Machine operative is a permanent opportunity with a well-established manufacturer offering long-term stability, ongoing investment in training and genuine opportunities to develop your career. Other benefits include:
Salary: During your first 5 weeks, you will train on the day shift and earn approximately £28,000 per annum. Once you move onto the continental shift pattern (from week 6), your earnings will immediately increase to £30,500 including shift allowance. Following successful training and competency sign-off, earnings increase to £32,400, with further progression opportunities available as your skills develop.
