Production Team Leader
PeterboroughTeam Leader (Progression from Production Operator) 📍 Site-Based | Full-Time | Rotating Shifts Let’s be clear from the start. This is aTeam Leader opportunity, but you’ll begin by working1 week as a Production Operator. Why? Because we believe leaders should understand the line properly before leading it. If, during that first week, you demonstrate the right technical ability, pace, standards and leadership behaviours, you’ll move into theTeam Leader role at £15+ per hour. Earned. Not assumed. How the Progression Works Week 1 – Production Operator You’ll be working hands-on in production: Setting up, adjusting and monitoring manufacturing equipment Following technical specifications and process documentation Monitoring production parameters and acting when something drifts out of spec Carrying out in-process quality checks Completing production and compliance paperwork accurately Maintaining GMP, HACCP and hygiene standards Supporting troubleshooting with maintenance and engineering Keeping the line safe, clean and audit-ready If you’re up to speed and show leadership potential, you’ll move into the Team Leader role. Team Leader Responsibilities (Post Week 1) Once confirmed in the role, you’ll be responsible for: Leading your shift to deliver safe, efficient production Holding food safety, hygiene and compliance standards Monitoring KPIs and addressing performance gaps Supporting and guiding operators on the floor Ensuring documentation is accurate and audit-ready Driving efficiency and reducing waste Communicating clearly during shift handovers Acting as the link between Production, QA and Maintenance This is a hands-on leadership role, not a stand-back position. Shift Patterns Available 🔹 3-Shift Rotation (Weekly Reverse Rotation) 06:00 – 14:00 14:00 – 22:00 22:00 – 06:00 Rotates weekly in reverse order: Nights → Lates → Days 🔹 24/7 Panama Shift Pattern 06:00 – 18:00 18:00 – 06:00 Rotation: 2 days on → 2 days off → 3 days on 2 days off → 2 days on → 3 days off Pay Structure (During Initial Production Week) 3-Shift Rotation Pre 12 Weeks (Pre AWR): £12.21 per hour (first 37.5 hours) £18.32 overtime (over 37.5 hours) £1.47 per hour shift allowance when working full 3-shift rotation Post 12 Weeks (Post AWR): £12.97 per hour (first 40 hours) £19.08 overtime (over 40 hours) £1.56 per hour shift allowance when working full rotation Panama Shift Pattern Pre 12 Weeks (Pre AWR): £12.21 per hour (core hours) £18.32 overtime (over 40.25 hours 2-week average) £2.20 shift allowance on core hours Base rate including shift allowance starts at £14.41 1 x 30-minute unpaid break Post 12 Weeks (Post AWR): £12.97 per hour (core hours) £19.46 overtime (over 42 hours 2-week average) £2.33 shift allowance Base rate including shift allowance starts at £15.30 All breaks paid Team Leader Pay Following successful completion of the initial week and confirmation of suitability: Team Leader pay: £15+ per hour What We’re Looking For Experience in food manufacturing or FMCG Strong understanding of production processes and machine operation Knowledge of GMP and HACCP Calm, practical problem-solving ability Confidence communicating with teams Willingness to work rotating shifts Desirable: Formal food safety qualification Process control experience Basic mechanical fault-finding skills What You Might Not Like Let’s be honest. It’s rotating shifts. If you need fixed hours, this won’t suit. You start on the line first. If you expect the title without proving yourself, this isn’t for you. It’s food production — fast-paced, hands-on and sometimes repetitive. Standards matter here. GMP, hygiene and paperwork aren’t optional. When production is busy, it’s busy. You’ll be expected to step up, not step back. This is floor-based leadership. If you prefer managing from a distance, it won’t fit. If you’re someone who backs yourself, understands production properly, and wants to step into leadership the right way — this is a genuine opportunity. If you just want the badge without the responsibility — it’s probably not for you. -

Warehouse and Stock Operative
PeterboroughWarehouse and Stock Operative - Peterborough | Full-time | Engineering & Manufacturing | Immediate Start The Role If you’re the kind of person who notices when a shelf’s out of order, knows exactly where everything belongs, and takes quiet pride in keeping chaos under control — this one’s for you. You’ll be the go-to person who keeps the wheels turning behind the scenes. From making sure parts are in the right place at the right time, to helping engineers and customers get what they need, your role is what keeps the operation running smoothly. It’s a mix of hands-on graft, problem-solving, and proper teamwork — perfect for someone who’s physically fit, reliable, and genuinely enjoys making things run like clockwork. What You’ll Be Doing Receiving, booking in, and putting away stock and deliveries. Checking and cross-referencing vehicle deliveries — paperwork matters here. Picking, packing, and dispatching customer orders with accuracy. Managing stock control and processing parts returns. Keeping stores, workshops, and yards clean, safe, and well organised. Updating systems to maintain traceability and accurate records. Liaising with suppliers and supporting workshop operations. Assisting with inspection or testing days by operating workshop equipment. What You’ll Need Experience in a stores, warehouse, or workshop support role — ideally within engineering or manufacturing. Physically fit and comfortable with manual handling and an active, on-your-feet job. Strong attention to detail — you notice the small things that make a big difference. Confident using computers or stock management systems (SAP experience’s a plus). A calm, organised approach — especially when the pace picks up. Team player mentality with a practical, can-do attitude. Forklift licence (or willingness to obtain one). A hands-on approach and pride in keeping things running right. What You Might Not Like It’s not a desk job — you’ll be on your feet, lifting, moving, and keeping things in motion. The pace can be full-on, especially when deadlines and customer orders overlap. You’ll need to juggle tasks and stay steady under pressure. Working hours are 07:30 to 17:00, Monday to Friday — routine, but it suits someone who likes structure. What To Do Next If you like the sound of a role where your reliability, energy, and attention to detail genuinely matter — we’d love to hear from you. Send your CV and a quick note about what caught your eye. You don’t need to oversell it — just show you care about doing things properly and being part of a team that gets the job done. Because the right people don’t just fill a role — they raise the standard. -
