- Keep accurate production records and give clear handovers to the next shift.
What you’ll need
- Hands-on experience operating a paper machine that makes paper from pulp.
- Experience leading a production team, including allocating work and supporting operators on shift.
- A practical example of an improvement you delivered, with a measurable result in output, quality, waste or downtime.
- Availability to work both shift patterns, including 12-hour days, nights and weekends. Shifts start at 7am or 7pm.
Pay and benefits
- £49,000 on the three-shift cycle or £56,000 on the four-shift cycle, both including shift allowance.
- Enhanced overtime rates.
- 33 days’ holiday including bank holidays, with most leave scheduled around planned shutdowns.
