As a Delford Operative you will be required to monitor and control the metal detector CCP, performing checks as directed by company policy and Customer requirements.

Any issues or concerns with quality must be highlighted to the area Line Controller, Process controller, Operation Team Leader or Production Manager for immediate corrective action.

Effective liaison, team working and interaction with other operatives and supervisory staff is fundamental.
