The role involves working as part of the production team batching and packing finished goods such as soups and sauces. A keen eye for detail is essential for checking batch codes, use by dates and temperature checks. The ideal candidate will be able to work well as part of a team and also be able to work independantly. The factory floor is a fast paced environment and the role can be very physical at times.
