Are you looking for a position in which you keep things moving and deliver when it matters most? If so, then you could be the newest addition to our team as a Warehouse Operative.
Be part of the movement - and play your part.
About the role
Working 4 on 4 off, 19:00–07:00, you’ll play a key role in our night‑time warehouse operation. This is a largely solo‑working role, requiring someone who can get stuck in and keep operations moving safely and efficiently.
You will be responsible for:
Loading and unloading trailers safely
Allocating orders as needed using warehouse systems
Completing general hygiene and cleaning duties
Operating MHE including FLT or T20 (training/licences advantageous)
Working independently while maintaining strong communication with the team
Carrying out any other reasonable tasks to support night operations
About you
You’ll ideally have a FLT or T20 licence/training, with experience working nights or in fast‑paced warehouse environments. Knowledge of allocation systems or Oracle is an advantage, but not essential. You’ll be someone who can work confidently on your own or as part of a team, with a practical mindset and the ability to solve problems as they arise. Hard‑working, organised, and calm under pressure, you’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy responsibility and can multitask effectively.
We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills and strong characters bring out the best in us all. And we cannot wait for you to join.
