We encourage personal development and rely on you to identify any process failures, as well as enact process improvements through our internal Lean/Six Sigma programme.

You will be responsible and accountable to carry out a set range of process procedures and in-line testing to produce aluminium effect pigments, communicating clearly with your work colleagues regarding issues that may affect safety, quality, productivity, etc.

You will maintain a safe and organised workplace environment through adherence to 5S, and operate machinery and plant processes, as defined in the company’s standard operating procedures, to a high standard, including daily checks in your designated work area.

You will need the ability to work a rotating shift pattern, comprising of dayshift, backshift, and nightshift on a 24/5 or 24/7 shift pattern.

This role will entail some physical manual handling activities.
