About the role
We’re looking for a reliable and hardworking Warehouse Operative to join our team in Lerwick, supporting the handling and movement of goods across our ambient warehouse.

Supporting the loading and unloading of vehicles
Using handheld devices and warehouse systems to track and manage stock
Maintaining cleanliness and organisation in the warehouse
