Warehouse and Stock Operative - Peterborough | Full-time | Engineering & Manufacturing | Immediate Start
The Role
If you're the kind of person who notices when a shelf's out of order, knows exactly where everything belongs, and takes quiet pride in keeping chaos under control - this one's for you.
You'll be the go-to person who keeps the wheels turning behind the scenes. From making sure parts are in the right place at the right time, to helping engineers and customers get what they need, your role is what keeps the operation running smoothly.
It's a mix of hands-on graft, problem-solving, and proper teamwork - perfect for someone who's physically fit, reliable, and genuinely enjoys making things run like clockwork.
What You'll Be Doing
Receiving, booking in, and putting away stock and deliveries.
Checking and cross-referencing vehicle deliveries - paperwork matters here.
Picking, packing, and dispatching customer orders with accuracy.
Managing stock control and processing parts returns.
Keeping stores, workshops, and yards clean, safe, and well organised.
Updating systems to maintain traceability and accurate records.
Liaising with suppliers and supporting workshop operations.
Assisting with inspection or testing days by operating workshop equipment.
What You'll Need
Experience in a stores, warehouse, or workshop support role - ideally within engineering or manufacturing.
A steady work history
Excellent written and spoken English
Physically fit and comfortable with manual handling and an active, on-your-feet job.
Strong attention to detail - you notice the small things that make a big difference.
Confident using computers or stock management systems (SAP experience's a plus).
A calm, organised approach - especially when the pace picks up.
Team player mentality with a practical, can-do attitude.
Forklift licence (or willingness to obtain one).
A hands-on approach and pride in keeping things running right.
What You Might Not Like
It's not a desk job - you'll be on your feet, lifting, moving, and keeping things in motion.
The pace can be full-on, especially when deadlines and customer orders overlap.
You'll need to juggle tasks and stay steady under pressure.
Working hours are 07:30 to 17:00, Monday to Friday - routine, but it suits someone who likes structure.
