Process Worker

A Process Worker assists with manufacturing items in a factory or processing facility. You might move items around using forklifts or other lifting equipment. Process Workers might be involved in mixing or assembling products and you might check products for quality. You may package and label goods and get them ready for transport.

Process Workers must be organised and able to prioritise their tasks when needed. It’s important you can work as part of a team and communicate well with colleagues. Process Workers should be able to follow instructions and work to correct procedures at all times. Depending on your role, you might have to carry out heavy lifting duties or operate processing equipment.
