This is a full-time, permanent role based at our Holmfirth dairy, working Monday to Friday with a shared rota for weekend and on-call duties. Flexibility is key, as occasional adjustments to your working hours may be required to meet business needs.

You will play an important role in maintaining the high standards of our dairy manufacturing processes.
