Requirements

What we need from you:

Technical and mechanical mindset, to enable you to set up our machines correctly and efficiently identify any faults to minimise/avoid downtime.

Experience in a fast-paced FMCG Production environment would be fantastic, particularly with large tissue or paper rewinders.

Critical thinking with an inquisitive mindset (i.e. confidence to challenge) will go a long way.

Ideally, you will have previous experience operating a Converting Line within the tissue or paper industry. If not, we are still open to hearing from candidates from within the Food sector or other FMCG environments.

As part of our process, if shortlisted, you will be asked to complete a role-relevant assessment. This will be sent via email from TalentCentral (SHL). Please note this is a requirement in our selection process, therefore we cannot progress with your application until you have completed the candidate assessment.
