Compound Operatives Wanted - Consistent Work & Weekly Pay
Location: Newhaven | Early Shifts: 05:00 - 13:00 | Late Shifts: 14:00 - 22:00
[Shape]The Best Connection is a recruitment agency, and this position is being offered on a Temporary - Permanent basis.
We are partnering with a highly respected fragrance manufacturer that supplies premium scents to a wide range of global brands. Due to continued growth in production demand, we are looking to add a dedicated Compound Operative to their specialist team based in Newhaven.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands‑on, practical work within a structured manufacturing environment. As a Compound Operative, you will play a key part in the creation of high‑quality fragrances by carefully measuring, blending, and preparing raw materials used in the compounding process. You'll work with a variety of ingredients including aroma chemicals, essential oils, and solvents - all under precise instructions to ensure consistency and quality across every batch.
You'll be joining a business that prides itself on maintaining exceptionally high standards, and you'll receive full training on their processes, equipment, and safety procedures. The role offers a balance of routine and variety: you'll follow detailed formulations each day, but no two batches are ever completely the same. Attention to detail, accuracy, and a methodical approach are essential, as the work you do directly contributes to the performance of their final products.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with production or compounding experience who is looking to build a long‑term career within a specialist sector. You'll work alongside an experienced team, benefit from ongoing development, and be part of a company that values consistency, reliability, and teamwork.
You'll be responsible for:
* Accurately weigh, measure, and mix fragrance ingredients following precise formulations.
* Operate mixing, blending and compounding equipment safely and efficiently.
* Maintain strict quality, hygiene, and safety standards in the production area.
* Complete batch sheets, production records, and stock documentation accurately.
* Assist with stock control, including picking raw materials and replenishing ingredients.
* Ensure work areas are kept clean, organised, and compliant with H&S regulations.
* Report any deviations, issues, or equipment faults to supervisors promptly.
(Please note: your role may not be limited to these tasks)
