Full Job Description

This role is primarily working in a small team on our SORMA netter, which we use to put all our lovely citrus (and sometimes other items!) into netted bags. You'll be responsible for ensuring that our customers receive the highest quality, whilst prioritising safety and maintaining operational efficiency.

The small netting team is part of our larger Multihead team, who operate in our Multihead fridge packing our delicate leafy items and varieties of beans and peas. You'll be given the opportunity to be multiskilled in this area. The environment is temperature controlled and can be damp, but we will provide you with the correct clothing to be warm and dry.

The SORMA and Multihead are large and intricate machines, and we will provide full training in all roles that keep the machine running.
