Job Title: Production Operative with wood production experience
Location: Avonmouth, Bristol
Salary: £28,000 + Generous Overtime
Working Hours: Monday to Friday, 08:00 – 16:30
The Opportunity
We’re recruiting on behalf of a growing, forward-thinking client in Avonmouth who is looking for a skilled, hands-on Case Maker to join their team. This isn’t just a production role-it’s a chance to build a career with a company that values quality, invests in its people, and offers genuine progression.
For the right person, this role can open doors. Many of their Case Makers have moved into Export Packing, taking their skills out on the road as part of a global operation. If you’ve got ambition, they’ve got the roadmap.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be building bespoke timber crates and preparing goods for shipment, ensuring every item is packed securely to withstand the rigours of global transport-lifting, handling, shipping, and storage.
Your day-to-day will involve:
-
Constructing cases with correct bracing and packing goods to customer specifications
-
Applying accurate markings-weights, lift points, directional arrows, and temperature controls
-
Ensuring heat-treated timber is correctly stamped and documented
-
Maintaining your tools and workspace to a high standard
-
Working collaboratively with the team to meet production schedules without compromising on quality
-
Adhering to all safety and security regulations, including airline compliance
About You
You don’t need a formal qualification, but you do need a solid work ethic and a keen eye for detail. We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their craft.
You’ll bring:
-
Practical experience with power tools-safe, competent, and confident
-
Strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise effectively
-
Good communication and a team-focused mindset
-
A proactive, problem-solving attitude
-
A genuine interest in learning and developing within the business
They’re open to different levels of experience. If you’re keen and capable, they’ll train you up.
