Job Description

Production Operative (Temporary Contract)

Location: Derby

Temporary Role Full-Time

Salary: £12.76 per hour

We are looking for a hands-on, reliable Production Operative to join our busy operations team on a temporary basis. If you enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, have a keen eye for detail and take pride in delivering quality work, we would love to hear from you.

This is a varied role where you will support multiple areas of the operation, from repairing and configuring customer equipment to warehouse activities and dispatch. No two days are the same, and you will play a key part in ensuring our customers receive high-quality products and outstanding service.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Production Operative, you'll:

• Diagnose, repair and test customer EPOS and hardware equipment.

• Configure devices by installing software, applying customer-specific settings and updating firmware.

• Complete quality checks to ensure equipment is fully functional and ready for dispatch.

• Follow build instructions, work procedures and customer specifications accurately.

• Receive and book stock into inventory systems.

• Pick, pack and prepare customer orders for delivery.

• Maintain accurate production, repair and stock records.

• Support warehouse and production activities as business needs require.

• Identify and escalate faults, stock discrepancies and quality concerns.

• Help maintain a safe, clean and organised working environment at all times.

What We're Looking For

We're keen to speak with candidates who have:

• Experience in a production, manufacturing, warehouse or repair environment.

• An interest in electronics, hardware repair or equipment testing.

• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to quality.

• Good IT skills and confidence using computer systems.

• The ability to follow processes and technical instructions accurately.

• A flexible approach and willingness to support different departments.

• Good teamwork skills and a positive attitude.

• Experience working towards targets and deadlines.

Previous experience with EPOS equipment, inventory systems or warehouse management systems would be advantageous but is not essential.

Why Join Us?

• Immediate start available.

• Varied and engaging day-to-day work.

• Supportive team environment.

• Opportunity to develop technical and operational skills.

• Potential for longer-term opportunities for the right candidate.
