Production Operative 

Location: Neath

  

About the Role 

We’re looking for Production Operatives to join our Neath site. This is a hands-on, manual role working as part of a production team to safely meet daily cylinder production targets. 

You’ll rotate across different tasks, including: 

  • Loading and unloading cylinders 

  • Filling operations 

  • Supervised cylinder refurbishment 

The role involves working both indoors and outdoors on a rotated pattern. While you won’t be outside all the time, you should be comfortable working outdoors. 

What We’re Looking For 

  • Experience with manual handling or physical work 

  • Experience in hazardous or heavy industrial environments is an advantage but not essential 

  • Comfortable working with chemicals (full training provided) 

  • Willing to work safely and follow site procedures 

  • A team player with a good attitude and clear communication skills 

  

Key Responsibilities 

  • Work safely at all times and contribute to an incident-free workplace 

  • Report hazards, near misses, and incidents 

  • Meet production targets set by the Shift Lead or Supervisor 

  • Safely operate machinery and rotate across tasks as required 

  • Follow all work instructions, risk assessments, and safe systems of work 

  • Support new starters and contribute to continuous improvement 

  • Operate site FLTs (subject to licence) to move and load cylinders safely 

  

Training & Development 

  • Full on-site training provided – no previous chemical experience required 

  • FLT (Fork Lift Truck) licence desirable, but Calor will support you in obtaining your FLT licence through our training agreement package 

  • After 6 months, you’ll have the opportunity to apply to become a Cylinder Inspector, which offers an additional hourly allowance when operating that shift 

  • Clear progression opportunities to develop your skills and career 

  

Your Safety Comes First 

Your safety is our top priority. We operate a safety-before-production culture, meaning you will never be expected to put output ahead of your own safety or the safety of others. You’ll be working in a well-controlled environment, with clear procedures, full training, and the right support to make sure you go home safe every day. 

What We Offer 

  • Full Calor PPE provided, including fleeces, coats, warm hats and weather gear 

  • On-site parking 

  • On-site canteen (open until 1:30pm) 

  • Vending machines available throughout the day 

  • Wellness facilities, including shower rooms and secure lockers
