Manufacturing Team Member

Shift: 06:00 - 14:00, 14:00 - 22:00 rotating.

Join our snack-loving team
We’re looking for a Manufacturing Team Member to join us at KP Snacks. If you’re ready to bring your ideas to the table, grow your skills and be part of a team that values what makes you, you – this could be your next big move.

About the role

As a Manufacturing Team Member, you’ll play a vital role in helping us make the high-quality snacks our consumers love. You’ll operate and monitor machinery, carry out quality checks, support packaging tasks and help keep our lines running efficiently. You’ll follow clear processes, work closely with colleagues and contribute to continuous improvement across your area. This is a hands-on role where you’ll use problem-solving skills, stay focused on safety and take pride in delivering great results shift after shift.

What’s in it for you?
We believe in rewarding our colleagues and helping them thrive. Here’s a flavour of what we offer:

  • Comprehensive healthcare support – including Medicash Health Cash Plan, Digital GP, Best Doctors second opinion service and specialist cancer care

  • KP Pension Plan – contribution matching up to 7% of your salary

  • 25 days holiday, plus the option to buy more

  • KP4ME – our online platform for benefits, discounts, wellbeing tools and more

What will you be doing?

  • Operate and monitor production machinery, following standard operating procedures to deliver safe, high-quality snacks

  • Carry out quality checks to maintain consistency and meet product standards

  • Support packaging and labelling tasks, working efficiently as part of the team

  • Complete CIL (Clean, Inspect, Lubricate) activities, restoring equipment to base condition and identifying defects

  • Track and report equipment losses, contributing to defect lists and continuous improvement

Who are we?
We’re KP Snacks, part of the Intersnack family. Across more than 30 countries, over 15,000 of us work together to make the snacks people love – from Hula Hoops to McCoy’s. In the UK, we’re a team of around 2,400 colleagues, based across seven sites and our Slough HQ. We’re proud of our close-knit culture, where we speak up, celebrate differences and push boundaries together.

We’re committed to inclusion
We’re building a workplace where everyone belongs. If you don’t tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you – your unique perspective could be just what we need. And if there’s anything we can do to make the process easier for you, just let us know.

Job requirements

We’d love to hear from you if you can bring:

  • Experience in a food manufacturing environment (helpful but not essential)

  • Confidence working with data, information and standard processes

  • Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to follow a clear plan

  • Technical understanding of equipment (advantageous but not required)

  • Willingness to complete physical tasks, including reaching, lifting and crouching, with the right safety equipment and processes in place
