Process Operator

Reporting to the Team Leader, the Process Operator will work as part of the Unifibres team (deinking plant) and will be responsible for operating and improving the operational efficiency of the de-inking process. Safety is a key part of our operation and you will be expected to work to, maintain and help strengthen our safety work ethic by supporting the team in this area. You will be responsible to operate a line/machine/palletiser and support the operation for the plant according to fixed specifications and Standard Operating Procedures. As member of the shift team the Operator is responsible for the performance of the machines and equipment within the Unifibres plant.

We will provide training to understand the de-inking and effluent treatment process so experience in these areas is an advantage but not essential.

We're looking for people who embody our values, aren't afraid to challenge, innovate, experiment, and move at a fast pace. We're always looking for ways to improve our products and ourselves. If this is you, we'd love to talk.
