What you'll be doing:

As a key part of our production team, you'll help bring our award-winning oatcakes and snacks to life - from dough to dispatch! Every shift offers variety, responsibility, and the chance to make a real impact. You'll be:

Producing mixes

in accordance with recipe sheets.

Running state of the art food production machinery

with precision, helping us consistently deliver top-quality products.

Carrying out product quality checks

and confidently stepping in when something's not right - your eye for detail helps keep our standards sky-high.

Troubleshooting minor equipment hiccups

and keeping your work area safe, clean, and running smoothly.

Building and preparing pallets

of finished goods, making sure everything is packed and ready to go.

Keeping accurate records

, both on paper and digitally - your attention to detail matters.

Taking ownership of safety and hygiene

- looking after yourself, your team, and the products we're proud of.

Getting hands-on

- some manual lifting is part of the role, but full training and support will be provided.
Whether you're experienced or new to the industry, we'll give you all the training you need during your probation to set you up for success.

What we're looking for:

We're on the lookout for enthusiastic and reliable people who want to be part of a high-performing team. You'll thrive in this role if you:

Are a

keen learner

with a positive, can-do attitude. Work

collaboratively

and communicate well with others. Take pride in your work, with a sharp

eye for detail.

Can

follow instructions

and stay focused on quality and safety. Manage your time effectively and can

stay on top of a busy shift.

Are

comfortable with physical tasks

and being on your feet in a fast-moving environment. Have previous

production or manufacturing experience

- it's a bonus, but not a dealbreaker.
We're committed to providing a supportive environment, and we'll make sure you're trained and confident in your role - no matter your background.

Please note: candidates must live within a reasonable commuting distance of our Bonnyrigg site.
