We are passionate about potatoes. But we're even more passionate about our People

For over 60 years we've been the number one branded player in frozen potato market. When it comes to bringing the nation together at mealtimes with simple, delicious and great tasting food we're kind of a big deal

You won't just find us in supermarkets though. As well as owning a household retail brand, our respected foodservice business works in close partnership with distributors, chefs and caterers across thousands of the country's pubs, restaurants, hospitals and schools.

**We are manufacturing maestros.**
**And we're passionate about potatoes.**
**But we are even more passionate about our people.**

**ABOUT THE JOB.**

Did you know one in four chips eaten in the UK is made by us?
But at McCain, its not just about what we make, but it's about how we make it that's important.

We are looking for Technical Operatives to join our #WeAreMcCain family.

It's the job of our 'Tech Ops' to ensure potato intake operates effectively and that a continuous supply of potatoes meets planned schedule to quality requirements. Safety is our number one priority here at McCain, so you'll also ensure daily checks for the area are completed, reporting any faults or malfunctions to the area leadership teams and engineering departments.

Also, we take our spuds seriously, so it's our Technical Operatives who ensure no potato varieties are mixed, completing all the paperwork fully including check sheets and cleaning records.

As a key member of the Manufacturing Team, you will work together with Shift Area Managers to also
- Oversee the technical aspects of the department - blending processes, bin management, achieving production requirements for the peeler.
- Making technical adjustments as required for efficient running, calibrating, fault finding and rectifying as required.
- Continually monitor and carry out tests to determine if area quality is being achieved, taking preventative or corrective action when appropriate and informing all applicable parties.
- Contribute to risk assessments, audits, and the development and improvement of quality controls
- Yard management including receiving loads, carrying out checks, driver management and maintaining cleanliness standards
- Routine sampling of raw material, checking potato passport, recording of data and liaising with production leadership on specification achievements.
- Maintain standard of cleanliness and organisation within receiving
- Assist with training new operatives to the area

**WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR**

We're looking for someone with experience of working within food manufacturing in a similar role, and knowledge of the Health and Safety requirements within FMCG. You'll be a confident and assertive communicator at all levels, with excellent time management, prioritisation, and organisational skills with the ability to multi-task. It will also be desirable to have knowledge of...
- Lean manufacturing principles
- Food Hygiene
- HACCP
- Understanding of continuous improvement
- Intake knowledge

**You must also have**
- A keen eye for continuous improvement and who will strive to find areas to enhance our line operations within our plant.
- The ability to work at pace, without jeopardising quality and standards.
- A team player who can play towards creating our winning culture.
- A passion for quality with an eye for detail.

Although we do encourage you to taste the goods you'll be pleased to know we don't pay you in chips. For working hard, you'll also get a great salary and some pretty good benefits including:

- An excellent pension where we will pay double what you do, up to a maximum of 12% of your pay
- Optional health cash plan
- Cycle to work scheme
- 'Chips In' Volunteering Day Off - to make a positive impact to the competitiveness, resilience, and long-term development of McCain communities across the globe
And of course, being part of a Global business there are great opportunities to shine/thrive should you wish to relocate in the future. We have an ambitious 5 year growth plan that presents development & progression opportunities for those who seek it out.

**WHERE YOU'LL WORK?**

You’ll be based at our Scarborough plant in North Yorkshire. We opened this plant back in the swinging sixties, but it’s definitely not stuck in the past. It’s one of the largest French fry factories in the world and after a recent development, it’s also one of the most high tech. Our team of over 300 colleagues work hard to make sure the quality of our products keep our customers returning for more, for now and years to come
- McCain Foods is an equal opportunity employer. We see value in ensuring we have a diverse, antiracist, inclusive, merit-based, and equitable workplace. As a global family-owned company we are proud to reflect the div
