in Exeter on a long-term basis.

This is a hands-on, physical role within an industrial manufacturing environment. A key part of the position involves using

Important: This is

not a traditional office or warehouse cleaning role! The work forms part of the industrial production process and involves working around manufacturing machinery and equipment. Additional production tasks are required as part of the job role.

The work is physically demanding and the environment can involve both hot and cold conditions. The role is more suited to people who are practical, enjoy active work in an industrial setting.

  • Long-term employment opportunity.
  • Possibility of moving onto a permanent contract.
  • Opportunity for skill-based pay increases as you complete additional training and qualifications.
  • Full training and support provided to help you develop within the role.

Key Duties

  • Use high-pressure equipment to clean and remove casting material from manufactured products.
  • Support industrial production activities as required.
  • Work safely around industrial machinery and equipment.
  • Follow company procedures and health and safety requirements.
  • Maintain a clean and organised working area.
  • Work as part of a team while meeting production requirements.
  • Complete training and develop new skills within the role.

Shift Pattern

The role operates on a weekly rotating three-shift pattern:

  • Week 1: 6am-2pm.

  • Week 2: 2pm-10pm.

  • Week 3: 10pm-6am.

  • The three-week shift pattern then repeats.
  • There is no regular weekend work, although overtime is regularly available.

Requirements

  • Ability to carry out physical, hands-on work.
  • Comfortable working within a demanding industrial manufacturing environment.
  • Able to work on rotating shifts, including nights.
  • Safety-conscious and willing to follow procedures.
  • Keen to learn and undertake additional training.
