At Pets, our aim is to give the nation’s pets what they need to be at their ball-chasing, tail-wagging best. Because we will not rest until every spaniel has a squeezy toy. Every calico has a cat tree. Every rabbit has a run. We are motivated to find the best talent in the Logistics & Distribution industry. Right now, we are looking for Driver’s Mates to join our transport team working out of our distribution centre in Stafford.
The Role
Working with the driver in a 44-ton HGV vehicle, you will make product deliveries into stores overnight, and assume full responsibility for ensuring that the stores are securely locked, following the documented store requirements for pallet positioning etc. This is an enjoyable role where standards and security are priority, but much of your night will be travelling together with the driver, so good conversation is a must! The successful candidate will have good spatial awareness, be a keen problem solver and enjoy working through the night.
You will attend each of the stores on the Airlock route and receive full training on the entry and exit routines including the risk assessment, safe system of work, setting of alarm codes, and use of the alarm panel.
