Xpress Labels is looking for a reliable and proactive Contract Packing Operative to join our busy production team.
This role is about much more than packing. You'll be a key part of keeping our production line running smoothly, ensuring every product meets our high-quality standards, and supporting the wider team to deliver on time, every time.
We're looking for someone who's hands-on, detail-focused, and a real team player - someone who takes pride in their work and wants to be part of a fast-moving, supportive environment.
Key Responsibilities:
* Set up and operate the shrink wrapping, labelling and packing line
* Monitor quality and consistency, removing any non-conforming product
* Accurately complete paperwork and record production times and outputs
* Pack and palletise finished reels carefully, ensuring products are securely packaged
* Keep the contract packing area clean, tidy, and safe at all times
* Report any issues (maintenance, quality or health & safety) promptly to the Production Supervisor
* Provide cover for colleagues during holidays or absences and be flexible to support overtime when workload demands.
What we are looking for:
* A team player with good communication skills
* Someone who's reliable, organised, and able to work efficiently unsupervised
* A strong eye for detail and quality standards
* Flexibility to work shift patterns (6am–2pm / 1:45pm–9:45pm) and occasional overtime
* Previous production or packing experience is an advantage, but full training will be provided.
Why join Xpress Labels?
* Competitive hourly rate of £12.60
* Rotating shifts (6am–2pm / 1:45pm–9:45pm) offering variety and flexibility
* The chance to be part of a supportive team in a well-established and growing business
* Ongoing training and opportunities to learn new skills across production.
