• Are you somebody who enjoys hands-on work within a production or manufacturing environment?
• Do you take pride in quality, attention to detail, and producing finished products to a high standard?
• Would you enjoy working within a specialist luxury interiors business where care, precision, and craftsmanship matter?

If so, this could be an excellent opportunity.

We are recruiting for a Machine & Factory Floor Operative to join a specialist luxury wallpaper printing business based in Leyland, Cumbria.

This role is focused on supporting the day-to-day running of wallpaper production across the factory floor. You will be involved in machine operation, material handling, quality checking, packing, and supporting the wider production process to ensure finished products meet the exceptionally high standards expected within a luxury interiors environment.

This is a hands-on production role where attention to detail is extremely important. The business produces high-quality luxury wallpaper, so somebody who takes care in their work and understands the importance of consistency and quality will do very well here.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the operation of wallpaper printing and production machinery
• Assisting with machine set-up, loading, unloading, and production runs
• Handling wallpaper materials, rolls, inks, and finished products carefully
• Carrying out quality checks and identifying print defects or material issues

• Packing, labelling, wrapping, and preparing products for dispatch
• Keeping the factory floor clean, organised, and safe
• Following production schedules, instructions, and company processes accurately
• Reporting machine faults, quality concerns, or stock shortages where required
• Supporting machine cleaning and general production housekeeping
• Working closely with the wider production and management team to maintain quality standards

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for somebody who is practical, reliable, and comfortable working within a production or manufacturing environment.

You do not need to come directly from wallpaper production, but experience within manufacturing, print, factory operations, packaging, textiles, or machine operation would be highly beneficial.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Previous factory, manufacturing, print, packaging, or production experience
• A hands-on and practical approach to work
• Good attention to detail and quality awareness
• Confidence working around machinery and following production processes
• Good organisational skills and the ability to work accurately
• A reliable and team-focused attitude
• An understanding of health & safety and safe working practices
• The ability to carry out physical factory floor duties where required

Any experience within wallpaper printing, luxury products, print production, or quality control would be advantageous. This is a great opportunity to join a specialist business producing high-end products within a supportive production environment where quality and craftsmanship are valued.
