Operations Trainer in Nuneaton

At PROPER SNACKS, we’re on a mission to shake up the snack aisle with products that are seriously fun—and better for people and the planet. Behind every bag of our popcorn and chips is a team of passionate operators making sure everything runs like clockwork. That’s where you come in. We’re looking for an Operations Trainer who can inspire, coach, and elevate our production teams—someone who thrives on turning complex processes into engaging, hands‑on learning experiences and building a culture where people feel confident, capable, and proud of what they do.

The Opportunity

This is not your typical training role. You’ll be right at the heart of our factory—on the shop floor, in the classroom, and behind the scenes designing impactful learning experiences. You’ll deliver training that truly sticks. From machinery operation and production processes to safety, compliance, and onboarding, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our teams perform at their best while upholding the highest standards. Working closely with our Learning & Development team, you’ll continuously improve how we train, coach, and develop our people—helping us grow stronger, smarter, and safer every day. This is predominantly a NIGHT SHIFT role (10pm - 6am, Sunday-Thursday), with a requirement to work one set of day shifts (10am - 6pm Monday - Friday) once per month.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Delivering hands‑on, practical training on the factory floor, building confidence in machinery operation and production processes
• Leading engaging classroom sessions on SOPs, safety, and compliance standards (HACCP, BRC, etc.)
• Coaching and mentoring team members in real time, reinforcing learning where it matters most
• Designing and improving training materials, including e‑learning modules, SOPs, and presentations
• Supporting training coordination—scheduling sessions, maintaining records, and tracking certifications via LMS
• Monitoring progress, assessing performance, and providing clear, constructive feedback
• Ensuring all training aligns with health & safety, food safety, and quality standards
• Collaborating closely with the L&D Manager and Coordinator to align training with business goals
• Driving continuous improvement by gathering feedback and enhancing training effectiveness
• Supporting onboarding to ensure new starters feel confident, capable, and part of the team from day one

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience delivering training in a manufacturing or operational environment
• Strong background in hands‑on, practical training, especially machinery, production, and safety
• Experience working within an L&D function or training team
• Solid understanding of adult learning principles
• A confident communicator who can engage people at all levels
• Skilled at simplifying complex processes into clear, actionable learning
• Highly organised with experience using Microsoft Office and training systems (LMS)
• Ability to identify learning gaps and tailor training to individual needs
• Proactive, adaptable, and passionate about continuous improvement

Why Join PROPER SNACKS?

• Be part of a fast‑growing, purpose‑driven brand
• Play a key role in shaping how we train and develop our people
• Work in a dynamic, hands‑on environment where no two days are the same
• Make a real impact on safety, quality, and performance
• Join a team that values energy, creativity, and doing things the PROPER way
