By-Product Plant Operatives

Here at 2 Sisters Food Group in Scunthorpe we don’t waste a thing! Our main products are whole chickens and portions (breast, drumsticks, wings, etc), but we also make use of everything else that is produced throughout our processes via our by-products plant.

Due to an increase in demand, we now have 3, permanent, full-time vacancies for By-product Plant Operatives. 

The By-product plant, or Protein Plant as its commonly called, is where we process all by-products from the main manufacturing facility ready for despatch. By-products from the main process include; feathers, feet, innards and blood. Many of the by-products are utilised for animal consumption and others are used as part of the process for creating bio-fuels. 

By-products are transported around site in Dolavs utilising electric pallet trucks and counterbalance FLTs. By-products are then loaded in the trailers ready for despatch. Operatives will utilise the shunter wagon (when trained) to rotate and prepare trailers for despatch, completing all required paperwork.

The Protein Plant team is small; hence reliability is key, all holidays are covered by the team, strong teamworking skills are a must!

The team operates on 3 rotating shifts;

• 05:45-13:45, Monday – Saturday (Monday 03:15-13:45, Saturday 05:45-14:30). 
• 21:45-05:45, Monday - Friday
• 13:45-21:45, Monday - Friday

A good work ethic is essential, the team is small and always busy, so we need someone that is not going to let their colleagues down. There is a requirement to complete some paperwork so basic literacy (in English) and numeracy is a must.
