  • Championing our quality programme
  • Setting up and managing the packaging line and systems
  • Managing run completions and the associated inventory management
  • Manual labour, general warehousing and assistance in packaging & delivery

To be successful in this role, you will need:

  • Can filler operating experience
  • An understanding of counter-pressure and/or atmospheric filling and seaming technology
  • Experience operating in breweries or similar manufacturing environments
  • Competent skills in mechanical knowledge and fault diagnosis
  • A forklift licence
  • High work standards and a great attention to detail
