Operator

job details

As an operator for our client's carrot washing facility, your day begins at the weighbridge, where you carefully inspect and record the carrot loads. You'll then guide the carrots through the entire washing line: from unloading onto the conveyor belt, through the shakers and washing drums, to the sorting hall. Your primary task is to set, monitor, and adjust the parameters of this advanced production line. You'll also manage an industrial cleaner and be the first point of contact for detecting and (where possible) resolving minor malfunctions. It's an independent and responsible role within a close-knit, primarily English-speaking team.
