In the UK, we’re a team of around 2,400 colleagues, based across seven sites and our Slough HQ. We’re proud of our close-knit culture, where we speak up, celebrate differences and push boundaries together.

We’re committed to inclusion
We’re building a workplace where everyone belongs. If you don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you – your unique perspective could be just what we need. And if there’s anything we can do to make the process easier for you, just let us know.

We’d love to hear from you if you can bring:

- Previous experience operating process equipment and quality checks (training provided if not)

- A good standard of literacy and numeracy

- Ability to take ownership, work independently and as part of a team

- Strong attention to detail and accuracy
