Previous experience handling large, heavy and/or fragile products would be highly desirable, particularly within industries such as construction materials, builders’ merchants, stone, timber, glass or similar environments.
Working Environment
This is a hands-on role within a busy warehouse and distribution environment. The position involves regular use of forklift trucks, lifting equipment and warehouse machinery, alongside some manual handling in accordance with safe working practices.
