Fruit Packing Worker

You stand at the grading belt, take out fruit with bruises, rot or the wrong size, and put the good fruit into trays or crates by class. Full crates are weighed, labelled and stacked on the pallet to the pattern on the board. You change the liners, keep the belt clear and write the counts on the shift sheet. In the cold store you help stack the pallets and check that the labels face out. Work runs 07:00-15:00 with paid overtime when a lorry is loading.
