We are passionate about potatoes. But we’re even more passionate about our People!

For over 60 years we’ve been the number one branded player in frozen potato market. When it comes to bringing the nation together at mealtimes with simple, delicious and great tasting food we’re kind of a big deal!

You won’t just find us in supermarkets though. As well as owning a household retail brand, our respected foodservice business works in close partnership with distributors, chefs and caterers across thousands of the country’s pubs, restaurants, hospitals and schools.

At McCain, its not just about what we make, but its about how we make it that’s important
We are looking for Technical Operatives (also known as ‘Tech Ops’) to join our #WeAreMcCain family.

Continually monitor and carry out tests to determine if area quality is being achieved, taking preventative or corrective action when appropriate and informing all applicable parties. Input traceability production run data into computer system

All whilst maintaining high quality, hygiene, maximum production and a high level of safety – our number one priority here at McCain.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
You might have never worked in a food manufacturing environment before, and that’s OK! We’re quick learners here at McCain, so we can teach you everything you need to know.
However, we are looking for someone who can really make a difference to our plant, who brings experience of working in a team, the ability to work closely with their manager, and who has a real ability to bring people along a change journey with them.
You must also have…
A keen eye for continuous improvement and who will strive to find areas to enhance our line operations within our plant.
The ability to work at pace, without jeopardising quality and standards.
A team player who can play towards creating our winning culture.
A passion for quality with an eye for detail.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
Although we do encourage you to taste the goods you’ll be pleased to know we don’t pay you in chips. For working hard, you’ll also get a great salary and some pretty good benefits including:

An excellent pension where we will pay double what you do, up to a maximum of 12% of your pay
Optional health cash plan
Cycle to work scheme
‘Chips In’ Volunteering Day Off - to make a positive impact to the competitiveness, resilience, and long-term development of McCain communities across the globe

And of course, being part of a Global business there are great opportunities to shine/thrive should you wish to relocate in the future. We have an ambitious 5 year growth plan that presents development & progression opportunities for those who seek it out.

WHERE WILL I WORK?
You’ll be based at our Scarborough plant in North Yorkshire. We opened this plant back in the swinging sixties, but it’s definitely not stuck in the past. It’s one of the largest French fry factories in the world and after a recent development, it’s also one of the most high tech. Our team of over 300 colleagues work hard to make sure the quality of our products keep our customers returning for more, for now and years to come!
