Job Title: Manual Pack Operator - PrePack** **Job Description

As a Manual Pack Operator in the PrePack department, you will be responsible for manually packing final brick bags and ensuring the quality of each bag.

This role requires standing for long shifts in an assembly line format, although PrePack offers more sitting areas. There are opportunities to advance into operating and supporting the automated line, where you will maintain machines and ensure a clean work area.
