We are recruiting for a Machine & Factory Floor Operative to join a specialist luxury wallpaper printing business based in Leyland, Cumbria.

This role is focused on supporting the day-to-day running of wallpaper production across the factory floor. You will be involved in machine operation, material handling, quality checking, packing, and supporting the wider production process to ensure finished products meet the exceptionally high standards expected within a luxury interiors environment.

* Supporting machine cleaning and general production housekeeping

* Working closely with the wider production and management team to maintain quality standards

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for somebody who is practical, reliable, and comfortable working within a production or manufacturing environment.

The ideal candidate will have:

* Previous factory, manufacturing, print, packaging, or production experience

* A hands-on and practical approach to work

* Good attention to detail and quality awareness
