Job Description

We are a leading company in the manufacture of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) making globally admired brands such as Gillette, Fairy and Oral-B. Here, at P&G's Reading Plant, we manufacture Gillette and Old Spice products, including some of the world's most popular shaving preparations, deodorants and anti-perspirants.

Our Manufacturing Line Technicians play an integral role within P&G's Reading Plant manufacturing facility. Day-to-day this involves material movement and management, carefully following formulation recipes to produce the lotions needed further down the supply chain, equipment operation, problem-solving and ownership of a system. In this role you will own overall line/area standards during shifts and find ways to continuously improve. You will be required to clean, operate and maintain equipment to the required standard and precisely follow batch production records with exact record keeping ensuring each batch made is right first time, every time. We are looking for a strong team player who can work collaboratively with teams across an organisation.

You and your team will work together on a rotating shift pattern and will provide a thorough handover to the incoming shift to maintain high standards and a smooth operation. While we currently operate a 24/5 shift pattern, this can change depending on business needs.

  • Responsibilities as of day 1: You will have full ownership and autonomy to deliver change and results from the beginning.
  • Dynamic and respectful work environment: At P&G our employees are at the core, we value every individual and encourage initiatives, promoting agility and work/life balance.

We give our people the opportunity to grow their skills and we actively encourage personal development with a promote-from-within approach.
  • A competitive compensation and benefits package: This includes pension, life assurance, health insurance, flexible working, a stock ownership scheme and other social benefits. Regular salary revisions and possible promotions - all in line with your results, performance and potential. To find more information about our benefits package take a look here:
