Apply NowCrating/packing technician (Hazardous and high value goods) – Wallingford, Oxon/Thame
Based in Wallingford, Oxon, we are a unique company that produces autonomous robots for the warehousing and logistics industry. These are complex and heavy products with electronics, vision systems, batteries and a range of accessories. We have a special culture here, and having a can-do at any cost mindset is paramount.
This is a permanent role, based on site, 5 days a week on day shifts, but flexibility to work late or on an early shift pattern will be required. It’s hard work here – often frustrating but also immensely rewarding. We are not seeking people wanting a transactional 9-to-5 job, but someone who can grow with the company, improve things and who has a drive to be successful
