• Ongoing training and development on machinery and processes
• A night team that is trusted to get on with the job

What They’re Looking For

• Experience in a manufacturing or production environment
• Some exposure to machinery, setups or line responsibility
• Someone reliable who can work independently and take ownership
• Good attention to detail and ability to follow process
• A team player who pulls their weight on shift

The Step Up
