CAN manufacturer Ball Corporation is promoting a range of job opportunities at its new factory in Northamptonshire.
The 56,000 sq metres plant in Barton Seagrave near Kettering is due to be in production by January. More than 80 posts have already been filled and and Ball is now focusing on recruiting for the remaining open positions.
With accelerating demand for infinitely recyclable aluminium drinks cans in both the UK and around the world, the new Northamptonshire plant will produce more than one billion cans in its first year alone.
Paulina Panus, HR manager at the new plant, said: “We have already had a hugely successful recruitment drive and have been really impressed by the enthusiasm and talent here in Northamptonshire. Now we are focused on filling any remaining open positions.
“Candidates do not need any previous experience and we have an excellent pre-employment programme which means we invest in training, nurture talent and will support our new recruits at every step of the way. This is an excellent route into a great career in sustainable manufacturing.”
Ball is hosting Job Fairs on the following dates:
- Monday, September 12 at Community Library, High Street, Burton Latimer, NN15 5RH, 10am-2pm.
- Tuesday, September 20 at Crescent Community Centre, Laburnum Crescent, Kettering, NN16 9PH, 10am-2pm.
Jason Bridger, manager of the new Kettering plant, said: “We are committed to recruiting a diverse and talented workforce and for many of our roles no previous experience is required. New team members will join a fantastic organisation and work with a host of innovative technologies in one of the most advanced plants of its type in the world.”
