About the Role

We’re looking for Production Operatives to join our Stoney Stanton 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
