Factory Operative - Level 2

Based at our Coffin Factory in Nottinghamshire, we are recruiting for Factory Operatives to join our amazing and dedicated team. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills.

You’ll be working to complete production processes to deliver industry leading standards in quality and performance whilst adhering to health & safety regulations. You’ll also help make sure that stock rotation and levels are kept up to agreed levels.

You’ll use your knowledge of our products and processes to produce a variety of items which may include baby caskets, ashes caskets, crosses, and regency caskets. You’ll oversee all daily processes in your section/department.

You’ll communicate daily process performance information for the Production/Delivery Team Leader as well as communicating daily requirements and performance targets with regards to department schedules.
