About the Role:

As a Process Operator, at our Ferrero Alfreton site, you’ll play a key role in ensuring products flow smoothly through our production lines. From managing movements in our SAP production system to maintaining high standards in safety, quality, and efficiency, you’ll be at the heart of bringing Ferrero favourites to life.

This is a permanent role on an annualised hours contract, working a rotating shift pattern of mornings (6am–2pm) and afternoons (2pm–10pm). Flexibility is important, as shift patterns may change in line with production needs.

Main Responsibilities:

In this role, you’ll be right at the centre of our production team. Day to day, you’ll:

• Make sure our production lines always have the right materials in the right place, keeping everything flowing smoothly.
• Use our SAP system (don’t worry, we’ll train you fully) to track goods, record stock movements, and keep things up to date.
• Play your part in keeping our factory safe, clean, and running at its best — from food safety to environmental standards.
• Help spot any problems early and work with your team to find solutions.
• Take pride in producing the brands people love, knowing your work helps get Ferrero products into millions of homes.
  
  

Who we are looking for:

This role could be a great fit for you if:

• You’re confident using computer systems, and if you’ve used SAP before that’s a bonus (if not, we’ll teach you).
• You’ve got a good eye for detail and like to get things right the first time.
• You enjoy working in a structured way, but also feel comfortable taking initiative when things need sorting.
• You’re a team player who enjoys working with others, but you’re also happy to focus and get on with your own tasks when needed.
• You’re flexible, adaptable, and open to learning new skills.
• Most of all — you’ve got the enthusiasm and drive to be part of a team that makes products loved around the world.
  
  

How to be successful in the role and at Ferrero:

Consumers, quality and care are at the heart of everything we do. So, to be successful at Ferrero, you’ll need to be just as consumer and product centric as we are - dedicated to crafting brilliant results for consumers around the world.
