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.
