Are you interested in the maintenance of Machinery, enjoy problem solving and have experience of a fast-paced environment? If yes Burton's Biscuits need YOU to join our Operations team as a Junior Machine Operator.
As a Junior Machine Operator, you will support the Senior Machine Operator at the start of the shift, completing daily checks and pre-starts and help with the rest of the paperwork e.g. Process control/target sheets and/or metal detection and checkweigher. It’s a fast-paced role and requires a certain level of fitness as it does have a large element of physical work in order to complete the tasks to a high standard. Attention to detail is key as we pride ourselves in the quality of our products.
You will be numerate, literate, flexible, self-motivated and be able to work with minimum supervision and use own initiative. Previous experience of a fast-paced environment and working as part of a team is essential. Previous Machine Operator experience is desirable, but not essential as training can be given but being comfortable around machinery is essential as you will be responsible for maintaining the machines. You will also enjoy learning new skills and have a basic understanding of Health & Safety and Food Hygiene.
