We are looking for Packhouse Operatives to join the Pengelly Farms team.
JOB DESCRIPTION & KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
The Packhouse is a key area of the farm, where harvested potatoes are graded into different sizes and orders are assembled to go out to customers. As a Packhouse Operative, you’ll be supporting potato harvesting and packing operations throughout the year.
There can be variability in this role, but general duties and responsibilities include:
1. Picking over potatoes on grading/washing lines, or on harvesters out in the field
2. Filling potato boxes and adjusting machinery
3. Labelling, stacking and packing 10-25kg potato boxes and bags
4. Applying treatment to seed potatoes
5. General packhouse upkeep and cleaning
6. Other duties around the farm, such as tidying and repairing potato boxes
Attention to detail is a great trait for this role, as we apply multiple stages of quality control when receiving potatoes at the farm and preparing them for customers.
Forklift and/or tractor driving qualifications are not required, but will be advantageous when applying for this role.
This role will primarily be based on the farm site near Helston. PPE and hi-visibility clothing is provided, along with training. On-site parking is available, and depending on the circumstances, on-site accommodation may also be available.
HOURLY RATE: £11.44/hour, increasing depending on other qualifications.
