This is a long-term opportunity for someone who is keen to learn, work hard and get ahead. The company is also open to putting the right person through an apprenticeship, giving you the chance to develop a trade and build a career within the business.

• Learning different aspects of the operation
• Working alongside an experienced team
• Getting hands-on and building your skills
• Potentially working towards an apprenticeship

We're not necessarily looking for someone with heaps of experience — attitude and reliability are key.

You will ideally be:

• Reliable and punctual
• Switched on and willing to learn
• Hands-on and not afraid of hard work
• Comfortable with 6:00am starts
• Looking for something long term
• Keen to learn a trade and potentially take up an apprenticeship

Machine operating experience would be a bonus, but the right attitude is more important.
