Why Greencore?

Following the combination with Bakkavor in January 2026, we're one of the UK's leading creators of convenience food, driven by a simple purpose: to make every day taste better.

As a vibrant and fast-moving business, we're proud to employ over 28,000 colleagues across 36 manufacturing sites and 21 distribution depots in the UK and the US. Together, we produce high-quality food enjoyed by millions of consumers every day.

Here at Wisbech, we have a team of over 525 colleagues and manufacture premium chilled ready-to-cook meals for major retailers including Sainsbury's, Aldi, and Co-op.

What you'll be doing:

As a Machine Operative, you'll play a key role in ensuring our production lines run safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Setting up, operating and monitoring production machinery.
  • Ensuring machines are running efficiently and achieving production targets.
  • Carrying out basic machine adjustments and troubleshooting minor issues.
  • Monitoring product quality throughout the production process.
  • Ensuring products are produced in line with customer specifications and quality standards.
  • Completing routine machine checks and reporting any faults or breakdowns.
  • Working closely with Production Supervisors, Team Leaders, and Engineers to minimise downtime.
  • Following all Health & Safety, Food Safety, HACCP and GMP procedures.
  • Ensuring production records and paperwork are completed accurately.
  • Supporting changeovers between production runs, including machine cleaning and preparation.
  • Maintaining high housekeeping standards within the production area.
  • Working collaboratively as part of a fast-paced manufacturing team.
  • Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, quality and safety within your area.

What we're looking for:

Full training will be provided; however, experience in a manufacturing or production environment would be advantageous.

We're looking for individuals who:

  • Have previous experience operating machinery or working within a manufacturing environment (preferred but not essential).
  • Have a strong awareness of health and safety in the workplace.
  • Can work effectively in a fast-paced production environment.
  • Have good attention to detail and a commitment to quality.
  • Are proactive and able to identify and resolve minor issues.
  • Can follow procedures and work instructions accurately.
  • Have good communication skills and work well as part of a team.
  • Are reliable, motivated and willing to learn new skills.

What you'll get in return:

  • Competitive salary and job-related benefits
  • Holiday entitlement
  • Competitive matched pension contributions
  • Life insurance up to 4x salary
  • Company Share Save Scheme
  • Greencore qualifications and development opportunities
  • Exclusive Greencore employee discount platform
  • Access to a full Wellbeing Centre platform
  • Free on-site parking
  • Enhanced parental leave and menopause policies
  • Ongoing training, support and career development opportunities

At Greencore, we put our people at the core. We celebrate diversity, support individuality, and create opportunities for everyone to grow and succeed. Join us and become part of a business where your contribution truly makes a difference.
