Production workers
Hire production workers when the order book grows
A large order, an extra shift or a seasonal peak calls for more hands in production. We help with production workers who suit your type of production and your shift pattern.

Production comes in many forms
Production worker is a broad title that covers very different jobs. So the first thing we ask is what you produce and how the work is done at your company.
Food
Hygiene is crucial, and many companies require a food hygiene certificate. The work often takes place in chilled rooms with fixed routines for changing, hairnets and handwashing.
Metal, plastics and wood
Operating and feeding machines, deburring, inspecting parts and packing. Experience with specific machine types, such as CNC or injection moulding, may be a requirement.
Assembly
Assembling components to a drawing or work instruction, often on an assembly line or at a fixed workstation. Here, precision and the ability to keep a steady pace throughout the shift are what count.
Pharmaceuticals and cleanrooms
Working to GMP and fixed procedures, often in cleanrooms with special clothing. The worker must be thoroughly trained in your instructions before work begins.
The shift pattern determines the staffing
Many production sites run two or three shifts, some around the clock. Tell us which shifts you need people for, and whether they are fixed shifts or a rotating pattern. That makes a big difference to who can take the job.
It also helps to know whether the need is linked to one specific order, or whether it may become longer-term.
Training: the all-important first week
A new production worker can quickly become a fully contributing member of the team if the training is in place. What works best:
- a regular buddy for the first shifts
- clear, short work instructions at the workstation
- instruction in machine safety and emergency stops before work starts
- a clear person to go to with errors and quality questions
If you invest time in a good start, you typically get it back in the form of fewer errors and a steady pace.
Quality and traceability
Many production sites require batch numbers to be recorded, inspection forms to be filled in or samples to be taken along the way. These tasks are easy to learn, but important to get right. Mention them in your booking so the worker is prepared.
If the need turns out to be lasting and you want to hire someone permanently, talk to us about it. Read more about recruitment.
What we need to know
- what you produce and which machines are used
- shift pattern and working hours
- requirements for, e.g., a food hygiene certificate, forklift certificate or language skills
- protective equipment and workwear, and who provides them
- number of workers, start date and expected duration
