Plastics process operatives

This essential operational role operates machinery and performs tasks involved in the manufacturing, molding, or processing of plastic products. They are crucial for ensuring efficient production, product quality, and adherence to specifications.

Key responsibilities involve setting up and monitoring plastics processing equipment (e.g., injection molding, extrusion, blow molding machines), loading raw plastic materials (pellets), and observing production runs. They perform quality checks on finished plastic parts, identify and address minor machine faults, and manage material flow. A core function is adhering strictly to production schedules, quality control standards, and safety protocols within a manufacturing environment.

They also collaborate closely with supervisors, quality control teams, and maintenance staff to ensure smooth operations and troubleshoot any production issues. Ultimately, they are accountable for the efficient and safe execution of plastics processing tasks, directly contributing to the quality and timely production of plastic products.
