Job description:

The Role

At Sterilog Pudsey, our decontamination facility plays a crucial role in the healthcare system by ensuring that surgical and medical equipment is delivered to hospitals in a clean and surgically safe condition.

As a Production Technician & Driver, you will play an essential part in the decontamination and distribution process. You will operate washer disinfectors, sterilisers, and other decontamination equipment, while also supporting the safe and timely transportation of surgical instruments, medical devices, and equipment between our facility and customer hospitals.

This is a dual-role position, with your day-to-day duties split between Production Technician and Driver responsibilities depending on operational demand and business requirements. Flexibility is therefore essential, as some shifts may be primarily production-based while others may focus on deliveries and collections.
