* Carry out visual quality checks on vessels, identifying any cracks, chips, marks, imperfections or other defects.
* Prepare and inspect vessels to ensure they meet the required quality standards.
* Fit and secure wicks correctly and consistently in preparation for filling.
* Keep the production area clean, organised and ready for use.
* Follow all production procedures and health & safety requirements.
Post-Production Finishing
* Clean and inspect filled candle glasses, removing any wax residue, marks or imperfections.
* Carry out final quality checks to ensure candles meet the required presentation and quality standards.
* Apply labels accurately and consistently, ensuring correct positioning and alignment.
* Check finished products for any defects before packing.
* Pack finished candles carefully into cartons, ensuring products are protected and packed according to specification.
* Maintain a clean and tidy work area throughout the production process.
The successful candidate will be:
* Reliable and dependable
* Practical and hands-on
* Highly detail-oriented
* Quality-focused
* Organised and tidy
* A good team player
* Able to work at pace while maintaining accuracy
