About the Role:

We're looking for a hardworking, reliable and enthusiastic Warehouse & Yard Operative to join our busy transport and logistics team. This is a varied, hands-on role that involves working both inside the warehouse and outside in the yard, whatever the weather.

  • Loading and unloading vehicles using a counterbalance forklift.
  • Moving freight safely around the warehouse and yard.

  • Washing company vehicles when required.
  • Assisting with stock control and warehouse organisation.
  • Supporting the team with the day-to-day running of the operation and helping wherever required.
  • Following all company health and safety procedures.

About You:

We're looking for someone who:

  • Holds a valid Counterbalance Forklift Licence.
  • Is physically fit and comfortable carrying out manual handling throughout the day.
  • Is happy working both indoors and outdoors in all weather conditions.
  • Enjoys a varied role and isn't afraid to roll their sleeves up.
  • Takes pride in keeping the workplace clean, tidy and organised.
  • Is reliable, punctual and has a strong work ethic.
  • Works well as part of a team but can also use their own initiative.
  • Has previous warehouse or transport industry experience (preferred but not essential).
  • Has their own reliable transport, as our site is not served by public transport and is not within walking distance of local amenities.

What We Offer:

  • £13.50 per hour
  • Full-time, permanent position.
  • Company pension.
  • On-site parking.
  • Uniform provided.
  • Friendly and supportive team environment.
  • A varied role where no two days are the same.

If you're looking for a role where hard work is valued, every day brings something different, and you're happy to get stuck in wherever needed, we'd love to hear from you.

Please note: Due to our location, applicants will need their own reliable transport to travel to and from work.
