The Opportunity

Learning how to make manual adjustments to machinery and equipment

Flexible and willing to work 12 hour shifts, including nights, following training
A genuine willingness to learn and develop a new skill
Reliable with a strong work ethic
No previous milling experience necessary What's On Offer
