Step into a role where craft meets consistency - where raw materials are transformed through skill, precision, and teamwork into high-quality leather products. This is more than a production role; it’s about being part of a process that blends tradition with performance, where every stage matters and every action contributes to the final result.
Right now, we’re building something stronger. A culture where safety isn’t just a rule - it’s how we work, every day. Where quality isn’t inspected in at the end but built into every step of the process. Where teams don’t just follow instructions, they take ownership, solve problems, and continuously improve how things are done. And where flexibility, learning, and teamwork are key to keeping operations running smoothly and efficiently.
In this role you will:
• Play an active part across tannery operations, supporting the safe and efficient transformation of raw hides into finished leather products.
• Carry out a variety of hands-on production tasks - from hide inspection and clipping to fleshing, splitting, and processing - ensuring all work meets required standards.
• Take responsibility for maintaining quality and consistency, ensuring customer specifications are met at every stage.
• Support material handling activities, including weighing, grading, palletising, and dispatch preparation.
• Work across different operational areas as required, demonstrating flexibility and a willingness to learn new skills.
• Follow all Standard Operating Procedures and uphold a strong “safety-first” mindset at all times.
• Identify and escalate any issues relating to safety, quality, or production performance.
• Maintain clean, organised, and safe working environments that reflect high operational standards.
• Contribute to team capability by supporting training, mentoring, and cross-skilling opportunities.
• Play a part in meeting production targets while ensuring quality is never compromised.
You’re someone who understands that quality, safety, and efficiency go hand in hand - where doing the job right is just as important as getting it done.
• You bring a positive, proactive attitude and a strong willingness to learn, whether you’re new to manufacturing or building on existing experience.
• You demonstrate a safety-first mindset, always working in line with procedures and looking out for yourself and others.
• You take pride in producing accurate, high-quality work, with strong attention to detail.
• You’re a team player who communicates well, supports others, and values collaboration.
• You show flexibility and adaptability, willing to move across different tasks and areas as needed.
• You’re organised and reliable, able to manage your workload and contribute to meeting production targets.
• You approach problems with a solution-focused mindset, taking initiative and seeking to understand root causes.
• You’re open to feedback and committed to continuous self-development and improvement.
