Food Production Operative

You work in a chilled room at about 4 degrees. You feed the slicing and portioning machine, weigh the portions against the target on the checkweigher and place them in trays on the packing belt. You change the film reel and the label roll, check that the date code prints correctly and set aside any pack outside the weight tolerance. Hand washing, hairnet and glove changes follow the hygiene plan and are recorded. You clean the line at the end of the shift. Shifts are 06:00-14:00 and 14:00-22:00, Monday to Saturday on a rota.
