Production Operative – Rubber Flooring Manufacturer

We are recruiting for a Production Operative to join a well-established manufacturer of rubber flooring and matting products supplying commercial and industrial customers.
This is a straightforward, hands-on role producing one mat at a time until each order is fully completed.
The Role

You will begin by inputting the required lengths and sizes into an automated cutting machine. Once set up, you will load a roll of rubber onto the feeder system by removing locking nuts and sliding the support tube through the centre of the roll to secure it in place.
It is a two man lift so a second person is used to assist with safe handling and positioning where required.
After loading, you will carefully position the material and ensure it is feeding squarely into the machine. Accuracy is essential to avoid misalignment and waste.
Once set up is complete, you will press the control button to produce a sample run, checking alignment and confirming the machine is running correctly before full production begins.
Throughout production, you will monitor the feed to ensure the rubber runs straight and square, maintaining consistent quality and accuracy.
Once all mats for the order have been produced, you will transfer them to a rolling and banding machine, which rolls and bands the mats to complete the finished product.
This stage involves manual handling, and for larger mats you will be required to hand roll them. This is a physical part of the role and requires a reasonable level of strength and stamina.
