Job Description

Job Description:

Are you ready to take on a role that is both dynamic and rewarding? Imagine working in a hands-on environment where your skills directly contribute to the creation of high-quality textiles and fabric products. This temporary to permanent opportunity starts at £12.71 per hour, with the potential for pay increases as you gain additional training and expertise. Located in Dewsbury, this role operates from Monday to Friday, 06:00 to 16:00, providing a structured work schedule that allows for a balanced lifestyle.

This position as a Dyehouse Operative is integral to the manufacturing process, ensuring that materials meet precise colour, safety, and quality standards before they are transformed into consumer goods. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include preparing formulas by measuring, weighing, and mixing industrial dyes and chemical agents to exact specifications. You will also be tasked with operating heavy textile processing machinery, such as electronic dye vessels, ranges, and industrial dryers, ensuring that each batch meets the highest quality standards.

Attention to detail is paramount in this role. You will be responsible for inspecting fabrics or hides during production to confirm colour consistency and accuracy, as well as recording key processing data and monitoring machine outputs on digital workstations. Maintaining the machinery in a safe, clean condition and escalating any faults to supervisors will also be part of your duties.

The working environment is physically demanding, requiring you to be on your feet all day and handle repetitive, heavy manual tasks.

To excel in this role, strong literacy and numeracy skills are essential for programming machinery, calculating material volumes, and reading complex chemical recipes. Flawless colour vision is crucial for spotting subtle inconsistencies or shade variations, and a detail-oriented mindset is necessary to adhere strictly to Standard Operational Procedures (SOPs).

If you are detail-oriented, physically fit, and eager to contribute to a high-quality manufacturing process, this temporary to permanent role could be your next career move. Apply now to embark on a fulfilling and dynamic journey in the textile industry.
