Factory jobs in Kirkconnel, near Sanquhar and Dumfries

Work on your doorstep

From butchery, cooking and slicing to packing and despatch, the Kirkconnel site makes cooked and sliced meats for some of the country's largest supermarkets. The 2023 extension added around 30% more factory space, more butchery and cooking capacity, and improved staff changing facilities.

It's also home to our head office teams: sales, product development, technical, HR, finance, design and marketing, and import/export.

What you'll get

• Learn while you earn. Every new employee at Brown Brothers can gain a Food and Drink SVQ, in distribution, meat and poultry processing, or production and processing, with an assessor alongside, leading to an SQA certificate.
• An accredited training centre. We're a fully accredited training centre for Food Hygiene, SVQs and CPC (the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence), with our own trained internal verifiers.
• Room to grow. Many of our people started on the factory floor, on summer work or with no food industry experience at all, and now run teams and departments.
• Family values. We're a family business, and our H.E.A.R.T. values (honesty, environment, action, responsibility, team) shape how we work together.

To confirm with Browns: Could you tell us about shift patterns, pay, transport to site (for example from Sanquhar, New Cumnock or Dumfries), canteen and other benefits? These make the biggest difference to local applicants.
