3-shift rotation

You must be able to work all 3 shifts:

This is not a fixed-shift or days-only role.

Aqumen Recruitment is looking for General Operatives to join a busy plastic recycling and manufacturing site in Allerton Bywater.

This is mainly a physical shop-floor role, with around 80% production work and 20% warehouse/FLT work.

The role

You’ll be:


  • Feeding materials into recycling machinery
  • Preparing plastic materials for processing
  • Working around shredders, blenders and production equipment
  • Moving and organising materials
  • Carrying out general warehouse duties
  • Using a forklift when required
  • Keeping the work area clean and safe

We’re looking for people with


  • Warehouse, factory or general operative experience
  • Experience in a physical, hands-on role
  • Some previous forklift driving experience
  • Valid FLT licence required
  • A reliable and safety-conscious approach
  • Ability to work all 3 rotating shifts

You need to be comfortable spending most of your shift working on the production floor, rather than driving a forklift all day.

What’s on offer?


  • £13.72 per hour
  • Monday to Friday
  • Weekends off
  • Temp-to-perm opportunity
  • Overtime available
  • Full training
  • Progression opportunities
