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.
Swindon (/ˈswɪndən/ (listen)) is the largest town in Wiltshire, South West England, lying between Bristol, 35 miles (56 kilometres) to the west, and Reading, the same distance to the east. The town is 71 miles (114 km) west of London. The population of the Swindon built-up area was 185,600 in 2011.[1]
The Town Development Act 1952 led to a major increase in its population.[2]
Swindon railway station is on the line from London Paddington to Bristol. Swindon Borough Council is a unitary authority, independent of Wiltshire Council since 1997. Residents of Swindon are known as Swindonians. The town is home to the offices of English Heritage, the Historic England Archive (formerly the National Monuments Record Centre) and the headquarters of the National Trust (all three are on parts of the site of the former Great Western Railway's Swindon Works), and the head office of the Nationwide Building Society.
