Job Description

Production Operative

About Us
JG Pears is a fourth-generation family business that's grown from a livestock farm near Penistone into one of the largest names in the UK's animal by-products sector, processing over 10,000 tonnes of material a week across the Group.

We're investing heavily in where this industry is heading — from our own combined heat and power plant, to a windfarm on our own land, to a joint venture right next door at High Marnham building a hydrogen production facility that's helping drive the UK towards net zero.

Low Marnham sits at the centre of that growth, and we're looking for a Production
