Manufacturing Operative
A Manufacturing Operative plays a key role in the production process within a factory or manufacturing facility. Their main job is to help create products efficiently, safely, and to a high standard. Here's what they typically do:
Operate machinery and tools to assemble or produce goods — this could be anything from car parts to food items.
Monitor production lines, checking for quality and making sure everything runs smoothly.
Perform basic maintenance on equipment and report any faults or issues to supervisors.
Follow health and safety regulations to keep themselves and others safe on the job.
Keep the workspace clean and organised, which helps prevent accidents and maintain efficiency.
Package and label finished products, ready for shipping or storage2.
The role can vary depending on the industry — for example, someone in food production might focus more on hygiene and packaging, while someone in automotive manufacturing might work with heavy machinery and precision tools.
Billingham is a town and civil parish in County Durham, England. The town is on the north side of the River Tees and is governed as part of the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees unitary authority. It had a population of 33,927, in the 2021 census.[2]
The settlement has existed since Anglo-Saxon times as a village. A post-Second World War town centre was built north of the old village centre on the town's grange.[3] It was a township, with an urban district, from 1923, until 1968, when it was absorbed into the County Borough of Teesside, and later part of the county of Cleveland.[4]
Billingham is home to the Billingham Manufacturing Plant which is a major producer of chemicals for agriculture.
