THE British Plastics Federation (BPF) has unveiled a new website designed to promote job opportunities in the plastics industry.
PolymerJobs.co.uk lists available jobs including toolmakers, shift engineers, sales managers, project engineers, and technicians. Companies can submit their job vacancies to be posted on the site by filling out a form which asks details about the role – a service that is initially free to BPF member firms.
A recent BPF survey revealed that 42% of plastics companies report difficulty recruiting new staff. The new website aims to help recruit skilled workers by promoting the range of roles and opportunities available.
Philip Law, director general of the British Plastics Federation, said, “Led by the BPF education and skills committee, this initiative is an important effort to help promote the great range of roles the plastics industry offers skilled individuals. For the industry’s continued and heathy growth, it is of course vital that individuals with key skills are matched up to the important roles that exist today. We hope that polymerjobs.co.uk can help contribute in this area, and the BPF will continue its work to help promote recruitment in the industry.”
