Who are we?  

Glad you asked! We're KP Snacks, proud to be part of the Intersnack family. Picture this: over 15,000 of us, spread across more than 30 countries, all working together to create the snacks you love. From Hula Hoops to McCoy's, we're the team behind your favourite munchies. 

 

Here in the UK, we're about 2,400 strong, spread across seven factories and our Slough HQ. But don't let our size fool you – we're as close-knit as they come. We believe in speaking our minds, celebrating our differences, and pushing boundaries together. 

 

Diversity isn't just a buzzword for us.  We're on a mission to create a workplace where everyone belongs. So, even if you don't tick every box, we want to hear from you! Your unique perspective could be just what we need. Also, if there's anything we can do to make this process easier for you, just give us a shout. 

We’d love to hear from you if you can demonstrate the following knowledge, skills and experience: 

• A strong understanding of mechanical systems and manufacturing processes, with a passion for continuous improvement and problem solving.

• Excellent communication and coaching skills that help bring teams together, support development, and drive positive change.

• Experience working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, with transferable skills in data analysis, root cause investigation, or lean methodologies.

• While not essential, familiarity with systems such as online data capture or advanced Excel is a bonus – we’re happy to support the right person to grow these skills.
