This is an excellent opportunity to become part of the Kemetyl Group, a major international manufacturer of automotive, cleaning and speciality chemical products with operations across Europe and beyond.

We are looking for people who want more than simply another factory job. We want individuals who take pride in their work, care about quality and safety, and want the opportunity to learn, develop and build a long-term career within an international manufacturing business.

The Role

Working as part of our production team, you will help manufacture and pack a wide range of chemical products for major UK and international customers.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Operating production and filling equipment

• Setting up and monitoring production lines

• Packing and preparing finished products

• Carrying out routine quality checks

• Ensuring products meet the required quality standards

• Accurately completing production documentation

• Following manufacturing procedures and work instructions

• Working safely with chemicals and production equipment

• Identifying and reporting quality or production issues

• Working closely with colleagues to achieve daily production targets

Full training will be provided.

You should have:

• Good attention to detail

• A strong attitude towards quality and safety

• Good communication and teamwork skills

• The ability to follow instructions and procedures accurately

• A reliable and punctual approach to work

• Good practical problem-solving skills

• A willingness to learn and develop

• A positive, hardworking attitude

Previous manufacturing, production, warehouse or chemical industry experience is preferred, although not essential for the right candidate.

Forklift or other relevant manufacturing experience would also be advantageous.

As part of our recruitment process, shortlisted candidates will complete a short aptitude assessment designed to assess practical thinking, attention to detail and problem-solving ability.

What We Offer

£28,500 annual starting salary, paid monthly.

You'll work a straightforward Monday to Friday, 6:00am–2:00pm shift, giving you your afternoons and weekends free.

There may be opportunities for overtime and additional earnings, together with full on-the-job training.

Most importantly, we want to develop good people. There will be opportunities to gain additional skills, take on greater responsibility and progress your career as our UK operation grows.

Why Kemetyl?
