**Role Purpose**

To work as part of the production, assembly and inspection teams following standard operations to ensure the products we make are manufactured or assembled within the allotted cycle time, conform to specification and are packed off in line with the packaging specification and with the required quality standards.

Shifts are on a 3 shift rotation pattern of Days, Backs, and Nights. You will receive shift allowance of 7% for back shift and 14% for night shift. There will occasionally be overtime and we ask for flexibility in being available for this. Overtime is paid at 1.5 x normal rate for the shift.

- Sometimes trimming excess moulded plastic from parts using knives (wearing appropriate PPE - cutting gloves)
- Carrying out fit and function tests or measuring parts using vernier calipers to confirm they are the required specification and dimension
- Packing each part according to the instructions for the product - this will involve bending down to place parts into the appropriate packaging
- Inspecting a sample of parts produced to check quality and conformity to specification
- Reading and following training guides, standard operating procedures ( **SOPs**) and quality information inline with the Quality Control Plan (**QCP**)
- Completing written logs of work done on an hourly basis
- Any other reasonable duties as required, for example assembling, packing and labelling product ready for distribution or cleaning and tidying where needed during quiet times throughout the shift when all machines are set and running

Employees may be assigned to any of these areas, depending on resource needs.

All lifting and manual handling activities to be carried out safely.
- **Time and Attendance** - Keep good attendance and arrive in a timely manner. Complete timesheets accurately and hand in for approval at the end of each week. Ensure any absence or lateness is reported at the earliest opportunity via the agreed method of communication. Have a reasonably flexible approach to working patterns, job rotation and overtime.
- **Production Performance** - Work quickly and methodically to production targets in a fast
- paced manufacturing environment. Perform operations within the specified cycle times and targets. Demonstrate consistent attention to detail to ensure that quality standards are upheld, and standard operations and rework instructions are followed. Discrepancies or non

- **Continuous Improvement** - Support company, department and section improvement activities. Contribute with ideas to support efficiency improvement, waste elimination and a safer working environment.
- **5S/Housekeeping** - Maintain a high standard of housekeeping in line with the standards set out in the work cell state of reference. Ensure that work area is kept clean, tidy and organised throughout the shift and handed over to the next shift in an acceptable condition
- **Conduct and Behaviour** - Treat your colleagues with dignity and respect. Any threatening and anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated. Follow rules on conduct set by the company. Demonstrate an ability to take direction from managers, team leaders and trainers. Be able to work independently and as part of a team, building positive relationships with colleagues and managers.
