Hours: 8:00am – 4:30pm, with a high level of flexibility required. Shift work and later finishing times are a regular requirement of this role, with start and finish times varying according to workload and production demands.
The Role
We are looking for a reliable and motivated Die Cutting Operator to join our production team.
This is a hands-on manufacturing role involving the operation of semi-automated die-cutting equipment using a roll-to-sheet production process.
