About you

Ideally, you’ll already have some experience of working in a similar manufacturing role, and it’s essential that you’re a great team player who can work effectively with minimum supervision. You’ll have an eye for detail and accuracy, combined with practical hand skills and you’ll also need to demonstrate the following:

• Good organisational skills
• Willingness to learn and a positive attitude
• Effective communication skills
• Ability to lift large and heavy objects
• IT literate with the ability to learn a new computer system

It’s also desirable if you’ve got a full driving licence to help with local deliveries and have had previous experience of using a counterbalance forklift truck, but this is not essential as we will provide full training.
