Looking for a stable manufacturing role with the opportunity to learn new skills and progress?

We're recruiting for a Production Operator to join an established plastics manufacturing business in Bingley.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with previous manufacturing or production experience who enjoys hands-on work, takes pride in doing a job properly and is looking for a long-term opportunity within a busy production environment.

You'll be joining a company that manufactures specialist polythene film and packaging products, with full training provided on its machinery and processes.

For the right person, there is also the opportunity to develop further into specialist plastics and extrusion machinery.

What’s on Offer?

• £14.59 per hour

• Permanent, full-time employment

• Overtime opportunities

• Established manufacturing business

• Structured rotating shift pattern

• Full training on specialist production machinery

• Opportunity to develop skills in plastics and extrusion

• Long-term career development opportunities

Working Hours

You'll work a weekly rotating three-shift pattern:

• Mornings: 6:00am – 2:30pm

• Afternoons: 2:00pm – 10:30pm

• Nights: 10:00pm – 6:30am

Shifts rotate weekly and include a 30-minute handover period.

Candidates must be comfortable working all three shifts.

The Role

As a Production Operator, you'll play an important part in ensuring products are manufactured efficiently, accurately and to the required quality standards.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Operating and monitoring production and bag-making machinery.

• Loading and preparing materials ready for production.

• Monitoring finished products to ensure quality standards are maintained.

• Packing, labelling and preparing finished products to customer specifications.

• Completing production paperwork and quality records accurately.

• Identifying and reporting machinery faults or production issues.

• Removing production waste and preparing materials for recycling.

• Maintaining a clean, organised and safe working environment.

• Working closely with other operators and supervisors to keep production running smoothly.

• Learning new machinery and manufacturing processes as part of ongoing training.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is reliable, practical and comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Essential:

• Previous experience within manufacturing, production or machine operating.

• Willingness and ability to work rotating mornings, afternoons and nights.

• Good attention to detail and a quality-focused approach.

• Ability to follow instructions, production procedures and health and safety guidelines.

• Reliable attendance and a positive attitude towards work.

• Comfortable carrying out hands-on duties within a busy factory environment.

• Good communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team.

Desirable but not essential:

• Experience operating production machinery.

• Previous experience within plastics, extrusion, packaging or converting.

• Experience completing production or quality documentation.

Full training will be provided on the company's specialist machinery, so previous plastics experience is not essential.

Why Apply?

If you're looking for more than just another production job, this could be a great opportunity.

The company offers an established manufacturing environment where you can build on your existing experience, develop new technical skills and potentially progress into more specialised machinery operation.

We're particularly interested in speaking with people who are looking for stability, enjoy working with machinery and want to become a valued member of a long-term team.
