Hey there,

I’m one of the Machine Operatives here at Valeo Foods UK, and I want to tell you a bit about the role and why it’s a great place to work if you’ve got experience in a factory setting.

Our site is all about producing high-quality confectionery products. Whether it’s keeping our production lines running smoothly or ensuring everything meets our standards, every role here is vital in delivering the brands people love.

What’s the role about?

As a Machine Operative, your main job is to keep our production equipment running efficiently. You’ll be setting up machines, monitoring their performance, and making adjustments to ensure everything runs like clockwork. There’s a lot of hands-on work – from troubleshooting issues to ensuring we meet our production and quality targets.

It’s a fast-paced environment, and you’ll be part of a team that takes pride in what we do. Whether you’re completing routine checks or stepping in to fix an issue, you’ll play a key role in keeping things moving.

Why work with us?

I came to Valeo Foods because I wanted a workplace where I could grow and use my skills – and I’ve found exactly that. Here’s what you can expect:

* A clear path for growth: If you’ve worked in factories before and want to develop your technical skills, this is a great place to do it.

* Supportive team environment: We work together to solve problems and hit our goals. It’s a collaborative atmosphere where everyone pulls their weight.

* Pride in your work: It’s satisfying to know that the products we help make end up on shelves across the country.

What do you need to succeed?

We’re looking for people with previous factory or manufacturing experience – food production experience is a big plus. You’ll also need:

* An eye for detail to carry out quality checks and make sure every product meets our standards.

* Practical skills to operate and adjust machinery safely and efficiently.

* Reliability: This is a team environment, and we all count on each other to keep things running.

* Adaptability: Things can change quickly on the line, so staying calm and solving problems is key.
