- Assisting with other departments as required.
- Ensuring that the production area you are working within is kept tidy.
- In process quality checks as required.
- Assist with the implementation of new systems & processes as required

You may also be required to undertake other tasks in addition to those listed above.

- An attention to detail and strong work ethic.
- Physical fitness for constant manual work and occasional lifting.
- Excellent time keeping and a drive to achieve targets.
