  • Carrying out any reasonable tasks requested by supervisors or management

  • Previous experience in a manufacturing and production or an FMCG environment is desirable

  • Flexible and reliable with a good work ethic

  • Able to work weekends and weekdays in line with the shift pattern

  • Good communication skills and a strong eye for detail

  • Local to Colchester with own transport

  • Willing and able to work overtime when required
