About the Role

We're looking for reliable Food Production Operatives to join a growing food manufacturing site supplying major retailers. You'll be working in an ambient‑temperature production area, carrying out a mix of packing, line work, and general production duties. The role offers consistent daytime hours, long‑term stability, and a genuine opportunity to secure a permanent position.

Packing, sorting and labelling items to required standards

Carrying out simple quality and visual checks

Following food hygiene and health and safety procedures at all times

Performing light to moderate lifting during the shift

Working Environment

This is a food production setting and there is a noticeable smell similar to a butcher's environment, along with stronger aromas of spices and seasoning due to the food being prepared on site. This is normal for the role and applicants should be comfortable working in this type of environment.

What We're Looking For

A reliable, positive and hands‑on worker

Comfortable working on your feet and at a steady pace

Good attention to detail

Previous production or warehouse experience is helpful but not essential

Own transport is highly advantageous due to the rural location

Ideal nearby areas include:

Hatfield Broad Oak, Great Dunmow, Great Canfield, Hatfield Heath, White Roding, Braintree, Bishop's Stortford and Stansted.

There is also a bus route available from Bishop's Stortford.

What You'll Get

Regular weekday daytime shifts (no evenings or weekends)

Weekly pay

Supportive team environment

Training provided

Temp‑to‑perm opportunity for committed workers

Why This Role?

This role is ideal if you're looking for stable daytime hours, a hands‑on position, and the chance to build a long‑term career within a well‑established food production business.
