• Proven experience in utilising technical equipment to enhance productivity and efficiency.
• Ensure you are prepared to initiate tasks on your own initiative and to participate actively in group efforts.
• A strong customer service mindset, and the passion to be helpful and attentive to customers as they navigate our Self-Serve Warehouse.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING DAY TO DAY
• You will be maintaining the Self-Serve Warehouse, which means condensing and moving stock, supporting customers with their questions, and making sure that IKEA's flatpack products are accessible, stocked and ready for our customers to purchase.
• This is a physical role as you will be manual handling of heavy stock.
• Working with or around heavy machinery and tools, such as counterbalance and pump trucks, and flatbed trolleys, to safely and efficiently transport heavy goods within the warehouse.
• Ensure all safety protocols and regulations are followed for a secure environment for both our customers and co-workers.
