Flexible Warehouse Operative – Fast-Paced DC, Training in Magor

We are currently recruiting for Warehouse Operatives to join us in our Magor site. Working in our distribution centres means fast-paced environments, excellent attention to detail with the ability to think quickly and work as part of a team to ensure orders are picked accurately and on time with seamless delivery to our customers. This role is working any 5 days from 7, double day shifts.

Responsibilities include:

• Picking and packing customer orders, using a hand-held terminal to understand pick expectations.
• Receiving, storing, and stacking appropriately.
• Working with the best integrity to fulfil all stock requirements and needs.
• Maintaining a clean and safe environment with health, safety, and legal always top of mind.

We have LLOPs and FLTs in operation on our sites, and successful individuals will be given the opportunity to be trained on these in certain areas of the DCs. Our distribution centres typically have ambient, chilled, and freezer sections; preferences will be discussed within the process in more detail.

As a warehouse operative, being flexible and adaptable in a fast-paced environment is essential. You should be hardworking, able to work to set deadlines, and have a professional, positive, organised, and enthusiastic approach. While proven experience in a warehouse environment would be preferred, it is not essential. You should be able to work as part of a team and on your own initiative. Remember, the key to success is being self-motivated.
