Production Operative salary in South East
£28,500 – £32,000 (median £30,000 · 25th–75th pct)
How this figure was built. Based on 9 live advertised salaries for this role and region.
Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.
Market view. Days pay at or just above the National Living Wage; nights, continental shifts and skilled machine operation add 15–35%. Pharmaceutical, automotive and aerospace plants pay most; food and packing least. Agency and temporary contracts are common, with permanent roles after a qualifying period.
