About the role

We are delighted to share that we have multiple excellent opportunities for Equipment Owner Operators to join us within our Shieldhall site.

As part of our Packaging Team, you'll play a key role in maintaining the highest standards of health, safety, and quality in line with Diageo's values.

You'll operate bottling line machines, ensure smooth shift handovers, and perform autonomous maintenance tasks like cleaning, inspecting, and lubricating equipment. Collaborating with Team Leaders, you'll drive performance improvements and contribute to the success of our operations.

Health and safety compliance is key and you'll be at the forefront of making sure this is supervised alongside other Key Performance Indicators and targets such as production quality and HMRC compliance.

Shifts

As a Weekend Operator you will enjoy 4 days off and then work Friday 11:30 - 18:00 and Saturday & Sunday 07:00 - 19:00.

About You

We're looking for individuals who bring enthusiasm, teamwork, and an aim to learn. You don't need prior production experience - we provide all the training you'll need to excel in this role!

Here's what we're looking for:

• A strong team player who thrives on solving challenges and making effective decisions.
• Excellent communication skills with the confidence to collaborate across all levels of the site.
• Ambition to support our Team Leaders and a desire to grow - maybe even stepping into a leadership role in the future!
• Someone eager to share ideas, suggest improvements, and embrace opportunities to make a positive impact on our operations.

This is an exciting chance to join a dynamic environment, build new skills, and grow your career while contributing to world-class manufacturing.

Skills and proficiency are things that matter to Diageo, and so we'd love to hear from candidates from a wide range of backgrounds and experience who are passionate about transferring those skills and experience into a Packaging environment.

Working with Us

Our purpose is to celebrate life, every day, everywhere. And creating an inclusive culture, where everyone feels valued and listened to, is a crucial part of this. We believe the most inclusive and diverse culture makes for a better business and a better world. We know that for our business to thrive and for Diageo to realise its ambition, we depend on having diverse talent with a range of backgrounds, skills and capabilities in each of the countries in which we operate and to reflect our broad consumer base.

Join us, and you'll be part of an organisation that embraces diversity in the broadest possible sense. This means that you'll be welcomed and celebrated for who you are just by being you. You'll be part of - and help build - an inclusive culture that celebrates people of different gender, ethnicity, ability, age, sexual orientation, social class, educational backgrounds, experiences, mindsets, and more. And you'll help us champion inclusion and diversity across our entire business: with our employees, our suppliers, across our brands, and within the communities in which we operate.

We value each other and celebrate different perspectives. In our inclusive culture, you'll have the backing you need to test new ideas and learn from them. Harness your passion and desire to grow as you make your mark. Let's unlock a brighter, more exciting future together.

Our ambition is to create the best performing, most trusted and respected consumer products companies in the world. To achieve this, we need the world's very best people. We're looking for people with curiosity, creativity, boldness and a sense of purpose to take Diageo and our timeless, pioneering brands to the next level.
