There’s nothing beige about McCain…
Except our potatoes — and we’re extremely passionate about them.
When you join McCain, you’ll be joining the biggest player in the frozen potato game, bringing people together around the nation for over 60 years by sharing simple, delicious planet friendly food.
We’ve partnered with thousands of the country’s supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, hospitals, and schools to change the way people see the humble spud. It’s all about elevation and creating something better.
So, come and make your career at McCain Foods.
ABOUT THE ROLE:
Did you know one in four chips eaten in the UK is made by us?
But at McCain, it’s not just about what we make, but it’s about how we make it that’s important.
We are looking for a FLT (Fork Lift Truck) Driver to join our #WeAreMcCain family.
It would be your role to ensure our products are packed to company standard which includes:
- Operating the forklift trucks
- Using computers to complete reports/data input
- Working as part of a small team in a fast-paced environment
All whilst maintaining high quality, hygiene, maximum production, and a high level of safety – our number one priority here at McCain.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR…
You might have never worked in a food manufacturing environment before, and that’s OK! We’re quick learners here at McCain, so we can teach you everything you need to know.
However, we are looking for someone who can really make a difference to our plant, who brings experience of working in a team, the ability to work closely with their manager, and who has a real ability to bring people along a change journey with them.
You must also have…
Basic Computer Skills (this is essential, and ideally you will have Microsoft Excel experience)- Excellent prioritisation skills
- The ability to work both in a team and independently
Please note, it is essential that you have an in-date Forklift Licence
WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?
Although we do encourage you to taste the goods, you’ll be pleased to know we don’t pay you in chips. For working hard, you’ll also get a great salary and some pretty good benefits including:
- An excellent pension where we will pay double what you do, up to a maximum of 12% of your pay
- Optional health cash plan
- Cycle to work scheme
- ‘Chips In’ Volunteering Day Off - to make a positive impact to the long-term development of McCain communities across the globe
And of course, being part of a Global business there are great opportunities to shine/thrive should you wish to relocate in the future. We have an impressive 5-year growth plan that presents development & progression opportunities for those who seek it out.
WHERE WILL I WORK?
You'll be based at our Whittlesey plant in Peterborough. If you’ve spotted our three wind turbines, then you’ll know where we are! With about 400 employees on site, we’re one of our largest plants across the GB business. Our Whittlesey plant is where we make our famous French Fries as well as our chilled products, such as our Shake Shake Fries.
Please note, this is a shift based role, working 12 hours of 2 days on, 1 day off, 2 nights on, 3 days off.
McCain Foods is an equal opportunity employer. We see value in ensuring we have a diverse, antiracist, inclusive, merit-based, and equitable workplace.
