About Pitreavie Packaging Ltd

At Pitreavie Group it is our mission to be at the forefront of the market, continually solving real problems for customers with innovative and effective solutions through every stage – initial design concept, development, prototyping and manufacture. Our people, knowledge, technology, and our customer service are key to the business and are what makes us stand out from our competitors. Providing tailored packaging solutions for a range of organisations since 2010, we are the leading supplier in Scotland.

The Production Support Operative Role

We're looking for a reliable and hardworking Production Support Operative to join our manufacturing team. This role is all about supporting our machine operators and helping keep production running smoothly. You'll be responsible for preparing materials, maintaining a clean and organised work area and proactively ensuring the machine is never waiting for materials, tooling or consumables by preparing everything required for the next production run in advance.

No previous experience in the corrugated packaging industry is required – if you have a good work ethic, a positive attitude and are willing to learn, we'll provide the training you need.

Key Duties

  • Preparing raw material pallets ready for production.
  • Removing pallet wrap, strapping and packaging.
  • Keeping the machine area clean, tidy and organised.
  • Emptying waste bins and removing scrap material.
  • Fitting layer pads onto finished goods pallets before they enter the robotic palletiser.
  • Checking the production schedule and ensuring all materials are ready for the next job.
  • Helping operators during job changeovers if required.
  • Restocking consumables and reporting any shortages.
  • Working safely and following all company procedures.
  • Supporting other production areas when required.

About You

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Reliable and punctual.
  • Hardworking with a positive attitude.
  • Happy to work as part of a team.
  • Able to carry out manual handling duties.
  • Experience operating powered pedestrian stacker trucks is desirable.
  • Committed to maintaining high standards of housekeeping and safety.

Experience in a fast-paced manufacturing or warehouse environment would be an advantage; however, we welcome applicants with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn, as full training will be provided.

Employee Benefits

  • 30 Days Leave Entitlement (increasing to 34 with Length of Service)
  • Ability to Purchase Additional Holidays Annually
  • 3 Times Life Assurance
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Refer a Friend Scheme worth £750 per referral
  • Health and wellbeing initiatives, including free flu vaccines
  • Charity support
