Long-term temporary opportunity with permanent prospects

Looking for a Long-Term Opportunity in Manufacturing?

Are you reliable, hardworking and looking for a role where you can build your experience and potentially secure a permanent position?

We're recruiting Packing Operatives to join a busy and growing manufacturing team in Perth.

This is more than just a short-term packing role. It's an opportunity to join an established manufacturing environment where quality, accuracy and teamwork really matter, with full training provided and genuine long-term prospects for the right people.

You'll be responsible for making sure products are packed correctly, labelled accurately and prepared to the required standards before dispatch. If you enjoy keeping busy, have a good eye for detail and take pride in getting things right first time, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Packing Operative, you'll be an important part of the production process.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

Packing products accurately into boxes and tubing to specification
Selecting the correct packaging materials by following Standard Operating Procedures
Printing and checking labels before products are prepared for dispatch
Reading and following work instructions and production documentation
Checking products and packaging carefully to ensure quality standards are met
Prioritising workloads and completing orders within required timescales
Recording production information accurately
Updating computer systems where required
Identifying and reporting any issues or discrepancies
Keeping your workstation clean, safe and organised
Working efficiently to achieve production targets and deadlines
Supporting colleagues across the department when required
Following all health and safety procedures

What We're Looking For

We're particularly interested in candidates who are dependable, quality-focused and comfortable working within a structured, fast-paced environment.

Ideally, you will have:

Previous experience within manufacturing, production, packing or a warehouse environment
Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
A reliable and punctual approach to work
A strong work ethic and positive attitude
The ability to follow detailed processes and instructions
Good communication skills
Basic IT skills and confidence using computer systems
The ability to organise and prioritise your workload
Good problem-solving skills
The ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team
A flexible approach and willingness to support different areas when required

Most importantly, we're looking for people who take pride in their work, can be relied upon and understand that quality and accuracy are just as important as working efficiently.

No Manufacturing Experience?

Previous manufacturing, production or warehouse experience would be beneficial, but don't let a lack of direct packing experience put you off.

Full training will be provided, so if you have transferable experience, a strong work ethic and the right attitude to learn, we'd still be keen to hear from you.

Why Apply?

There's plenty to make this an attractive long-term opportunity:

£14.08 per hour
Double day shift pattern
Overtime opportunities available
Long-term, ongoing work
Genuine permanent prospects for the right candidates
Full training and ongoing support
Opportunity to learn specialist manufacturing processes
Develop valuable production and technical skills
Work as part of a supportive and established team
Opportunity to progress and develop your experience within manufacturing
