Operator

Afdeling: Production

Operator

At Poco Loco and Paulig, we’re constantly on the go. In Roeselare we currently have two production plants for chips, taco shells, wraps, and dinner kits. And we are building a new production plant for tortillas.

A new factory for us means new opportunities for you! We are looking for 100 new colleagues to help shape our future. Will you join our team as operator?

 

Your job

Millions of chips, tortillas, tacos, and dinner kits roll off our production lines every day. As an operator, you are responsible for one of the steps in this production process:

  • You set up and start up the machines, making adjustments where necessary.
  • You craft the perfect mix of ingredients for our delicious products or ensure that they end up in the right packaging.
  • You check whether everything is running smoothly, e.g. the quality of the dough, the sealing of the packaging, and the automated stacking of the boxes.

Together with you, we will determine which step of the production process best suits your qualities and which position suits you best.

Your profile

  • You can independently keep everything running smoothly in your production area, but you are also a real team player who takes into account each of the different steps in the production process.
  • You know how to tackle a challenge, and appreciate that not every day is the same.
  • You are willing to work in a 2-shift system (5h-13h or 13h-21h hours, alternating weekly) or the fixed night shift (21h-5h).

We offer you

There are plenty of reasons to join Poco Loco, such as:

  • a permanent job with an attractive salary and numerous fringe benefits, such as meal vouchers, and hospital and dental care insurance, along with the occasional nice gift
  • excellent coaching and continuous guidance to assist your growth in your job as part of our gratifying team
  • a modern working environment in which your safety and well-being are key

Come work with us

Are you interested in one of our open positions? We prefer to receive your application online, via our application form. If we are convinced of your motivation letter and CV, the human resources department will invite you for an initial (remote) interview. If the screening of your CV indicates you’re not eligible, we will inform you as soon as possible.

The first interview

We are curious about your personal story! That is why we take our time during an initial interview to learn more about you: your expectations, motivation, experience, and competences. We, from our side, also communicate transparently about our expectations and will be happy to answer any and all questions you may have. Thus, we can both know who we are dealing with and what you are wrapped (or tacoed!) into.

Online test

Did the first interview go well and have our expectations matched yours? Then you will pass on to the next phase where you will fill out several online tests. This provides us with an even clearer picture of who you are and what makes you, you. These tests can be taken at home whenever suits you; afterwards we will discuss the results together.

The second interview

If, after this first interview, the test results are also positive we will invite you for a second interview. On this occasion you will be introduced to your future manager, so that you can learn more about the position you applied for and the team you may end up a part of. Following this interview, you’ll know whether you’re the perfect salsa to our tortilla—a match made in heaven!

Test day

If you applied for a job in our production facility, we will schedule a test day. You will then work with your future colleagues and manager (remunerated, of course!). If you opt for a supporting position, you will go on an assessment for a day. This way, all parties can find out whether all the ingredients are present for a successful collaboration.

Contract discussion

After a positive final evaluation — also from your side — we will draw up a contract proposal. In fact, a variety of contract types are possible: interim, fixed duration or indefinite duration. Once all of the above steps are complete, we will welcome you with a short presentation. After that, you’re ready to work with us. Welcome to our team!

Working at Poco Loco

  1. Your first day
  2. Your first weeks
  3. Your first months

Don’t stress over your first day at work. Above all, we want to welcome you and show you around your new work environment.

If your manager can miss you for a while, we are happy to show you every facet of our company. After that, a direct colleague will immediately take you in tow, so you can receive an overview of the details your new position entails and get better acquainted with your workplace and your new colleagues.

Food safety and hygiene are extremely important at a food company, but the safety of our people is also an absolute priority.

Therefore, you need to follow several basic training courses (via e-learning) as soon as possible in order to learn the best practices in the fields of HACCP, safety, and prevention. You will follow these courses during working hours, and we provide a quiet place so you won’t get distracted.

During your first months, you will be completing the specific e-training plan for your position step by step.

Think about a training plan to operate the forklift, BA4, and so on. In addition, we schedule several evaluation moments. This is to guarantee that all parties involved can ensure that everything is going smoothly. If you want, we can even adjust your training plan to better fit your needs
