About Circular11

At Circular11, we transform hard-to-recycle plastic waste into high-performance materials for the built environment. Our product, plastic lumber, is a durable timber alternative designed for outdoor infrastructure and construction applications.

The majority of plastic waste is difficult to process, and much of it still ends up in landfill or incineration. Circular11 is developing advanced manufacturing processes that can handle variable plastic streams and turn them into consistent, reliable products with long-term value.

Having recently secured significant investment, Circular11 is entering an exciting scale-up phase. We are expanding production capability, relocating to a larger facility in Fareham, and building the manufacturing team and operational systems needed to support growth.

We are a hands-on business where people take ownership, learn quickly, and work closely together. It’s a great time to join if you want to build skills in manufacturing, be part of a growing team, and contribute to a product with genuine environmental and commercial impact.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for 3 shift operators to join our growing production team and support the build for our shift capability.

These roles will start with a training period for the first two weeks, giving you time to learn our process, safety standards and equipment before transitioning into the relavent shift once fully trained.

Extrusion experience is not required we will provide full training. What matters most is that you’re reliable, hands-on, safety-focused and willing to learn.

Role Overview

As an Shift Operator, you will:

Weigh and mix materials ready for extrusion.

Run extrusion and downstream equipment safely and reliably.

Learn and follow standard processes for start-up, running and shut-down.

Carry out in-process quality checks and record key data.

Support good housekeeping and workshop standards (5S).

Work as part of a small team where ownership and pride in output matters.

This role suits someone who enjoys working with machinery, building practical skills, and taking responsibility for doing the job well.

Key Responsibilities

Production & Equipment Operation

Operate and monitor extrusion equipment and downstream handling systems

Load and manage material supply under guidance and standard procedures

Carry out basic changeovers, start-ups and shut-downs

Support troubleshooting and escalate issues when required

Maintain production logs and record outputs, waste, and downtime

Quality & Process Discipline

Perform checks for surface finish, dimensions and general product quality

Follow work instructions and contribute to improving them over time

Maintain traceability and accurate labelling/handling of finished goods

Health, Safety & Housekeeping

Follow safe systems of work and contribute to a strong safety culture

Support clean and organised workspaces, and maintain tool/equipment standards

Report hazards and near-misses, and take ownership of working safely

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need extrusion experience, but you do need the right attitude. You should bring:

A strong work ethic, reliability, and willingness to learn.

Pride in quality, cleanliness, safety and consistency.

A team-first mindset and good communication.

Experience in a manufacturing, production or hands-on operational role (preferred but not essential).

Confidence working with machinery and following procedures.

Qualifications & Experience

Ability to work safely, reliably and with good attention to detail.

Comfortable working with equipment and learning technical processes.

Basic IT literacy (recording data, using simple systems, reading documentation).

Desirable

Manufacturing / production experience.

Mechanical aptitude (basic fault-finding, tools, changeovers).

Extrusion experience (bonus, not required).

Forklift licence (or willingness to train).

Salary & Benefits

Hourly range: £13-£15.50 P/H with lunch break paid this paid lunch equates to £1,500+ per year.

Holiday: 25 days + bank holidays

Pension: Auto-enrolment (minimum 3% employer contribution)

Training & Development: Full training provided; opportunity to progress as the company grows

Culture: People-first, high-trust, hands-on environment

Why Join Circular11?

This is a rare opportunity to join a business at a pivotal moment in its journey. You’ll help build a shift team from the ground up, develop valuable manufacturing skills, and be part of an operation doing genuinely meaningful work. As a small team there are many opportunities and career paths that you could follow and progress into.
