Are you organised, reliable and ready to play an important role in a fast-paced logistics environment?

We are looking for a Warehouse Operative to join our team at London Heathrow, supporting the safe, accurate and efficient day-to-day running of our bonded warehouse.

You will be involved in a variety of warehouse activities, from receiving, picking and packing goods to dispatch, stock control and administration.

Working closely with colleagues across Warehouse, Transport, Import, Export and Customer Operations, you will help ensure goods move through the operation accurately, securely and on time, while maintaining high standards of safety, quality and compliance.

• How you create impact
• Receive, check and put away incoming goods, ensuring quantities, documentation and system records are accurate.
• Pick, pack, label and prepare goods for dispatch in line with customer instructions, service requirements and handling procedures.
• Load and unload vehicles safely using approved equipment and working practices, where trained and authorised.
• Maintain accurate warehouse and bonded warehouse records, including stock locations, quantities, movements and dispatch information.
• Carry out stock checks, cycle counts and inventory reconciliations, identifying and reporting discrepancies promptly.
• Handle customs-controlled goods in accordance with bonded warehouse procedures, ensuring the correct controls, documentation and authorisations are followed.
• Support time-critical and Aircraft on Ground (AOG) movements by following agreed priorities and escalating potential risks or delays.
• Maintain a clean, organised and secure working environment while following QSHE, security, dangerous goods and site requirements.
• What we would like you to bring
• Previous experience within a warehouse, logistics or inventory environment; experience within a bonded warehouse would be an advantage.
• The ability to pick, pack and process goods accurately while working to customer and operational deadlines.
• Strong attention to detail, with good numeracy, administration and record-keeping skills.
• Confidence using warehouse systems, scanners and standard Microsoft applications; training will be provided for company-specific systems.
• Clear communication skills and the confidence to highlight discrepancies, delays or potential risks when required.
• A collaborative approach, with the ability to remain organised and work effectively as part of a team in a busy environment.
• A flexible approach to duties and shift requirements, in line with the terms of employment.
• A forklift or material-handling licence would be advantageous, as would relevant GDP or IATA Security training.
• What's in it for you

This is an opportunity to build your experience within a busy and varied London Heathrow logistics operation, where your work directly contributes to the safe, accurate and timely movement of customer goods.

You will gain exposure to bonded warehouse processes, inventory control and time-critical logistics while working alongside colleagues from different areas of the operation.

You will join a collaborative environment where accuracy, safety and teamwork are valued, with opportunities to develop your knowledge through training and hands-on experience.

You will also be encouraged to contribute ideas that improve safety, service and operational efficiency, giving you the opportunity to continue developing your career within logistics.
