This is an amazing opportunity to help make a difference and save the planet by making a positive impact in a ground-breaking business which truly puts safety at the heart of everything we do and have big plans for the future.
Olleco is on a mission to help protect the planet, working together with thousands of food service businesses to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by hundreds and thousands of tonnes. We are now looking for a Warehouse Operative to join our team and help us to continue to do things the right way for customers, colleagues and the planet.
With over 1,000 colleagues in multiple sites nationwide delivering excellent performance, we supply premium cooking oils and collect organic waste, which is then converted into bio-methane, electricity, heat and organic fertiliser. We offer the human touch with local, community-based depots which seek to give back to those communities at every chance we get.
Within a diverse and inclusive environment, you will have the chance to contribute to our H&S culture and help us maintain our reputation for operational excellence.
As a Warehouse Operative, you will be a fundamental part of our team, enabling us to continue with our mission to help protect the planet whilst maintaining the smooth running of our warehouse operations at our South West depot.
