Machine Operator / Machine Setter – Albert Bartlett

Location: Airdrie
Hours:

  • Monday & Friday: 06:30–15:00
  • Saturday & Sunday: 06:00–18:30

Join a Family‑Run UK Food Manufacturer

Since 1948, Albert Bartlett has been growing something special. As the UK’s leading potato supplier, we’re committed to delivering high‑quality fresh, chilled and frozen products sourced from dedicated farming partners across the country.

From our headquarters in Airdrie — with additional sites in Boston, Westwick and Jersey — we combine traditional values with modern production technology to create a working environment where people can grow, develop, and thrive.

We are now recruiting a Machine Operator / Machine Setter to join our production team. This role is vital to keeping our lines running smoothly, efficiently, and safely — ensuring the exceptional product quality we’re known for.

If you’re mechanically minded, enjoy hands‑on work, and want to be part of a supportive team in a long‑standing family business, this could be the perfect next step.

What You’ll Be Doing

Machine Setup & Adjustment

  • Set up and adjust machinery to ensure optimum running performance and product quality
  • Complete line changeovers safely and efficiently

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

  • Carry out routine machine checks and basic maintenance
  • Identify and resolve minor mechanical issues quickly, escalating when required

Monitoring & Quality Control

  • Monitor production output and make adjustments to maintain consistency
  • Ensure all products meet company quality standards throughout the shift

Safety & Compliance

  • Follow all health, safety and hygiene procedures
  • Maintain a clean and safe working area in line with site standards

Teamwork & Collaboration

  • Work closely with operators, setters, and production supervisors to meet daily targets
  • Support new team members by providing training on machinery and safe working procedures

Documentation

  • Record machine settings, changes, and checks for traceability
  • Ensure accurate completion of production and quality records

What We’re Looking For

You’ll be a strong candidate if you have:

  • Experience as a Machine Setter, Machine Operator, Production Operative, or similar
  • Good mechanical awareness and confidence working with machinery
  • Strong attention to detail and problem‑solving ability
  • A proactive attitude and the ability to work as part of a team
  • Reliability and willingness to work a 4‑day shift pattern including weekends

Experience in food production is an advantage, but full training will be provided.

What You’ll Receive

  • Hourly rate of £13.17 rising to £14.23 after training
  • Stable shift pattern with regular hours
  • Career development and skills training
  • Supportive, family‑driven working culture
  • Free on‑site parking and staff facilities
  • Opportunity to build a long‑term career in food manufacturing

Ready to Apply?

If you’re motivated, mechanically minded, and ready to contribute to a proud Scottish success story, we’d love to hear from you. Join us and play your part in delivering quality products enjoyed across the UK.

Requirements

  • Experience in a similar role within food production or manufacturing is preferred.
  • Strong technical skills and ability to troubleshoot machinery effectively.
  • Knowledge of health and safety regulations in a food production environment.
  • Excellent attention to detail to maintain product quality standards.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, physically demanding environment.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills to collaborate with colleagues.
  • Flexibility to work various shifts, including weekends and holidays.
