Are you someone who thrives in a hands-on role, takes ownership, and wants to be part of something growing from the ground up?
An exciting opportunity has opened up for a Warehouse & Workshop Operative to join a rapidly growing division of a well-established import and distribution business. This role is perfect for someone looking to take full responsibility for a dedicated warehouse and light production function within a small but ambitious team.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be the go-to person for all warehouse and workshop activities. This includes:
* Goods In: Receiving and inspecting deliveries, unloading containers
* Stock Handling: Putting stock away, picking, packing, relabelling
* Goods Out: Preparing orders, arranging courier transport, liaising with drivers
* Inventory: Stock takes, PI counts, and basic reporting
* Workshop Tasks: Setting up and operating converting machines
* Admin Tasks: Basic computer use, record keeping, labelling
* Samples: Managing incoming and outgoing samples
* Housekeeping: Keeping the workspace tidy and efficient
* Growth Potential: As the business evolves, so will this role
You’ll be working from a shared warehouse with around 6–7 others (from the parent company), but this position is fully dedicated to a fast-growing import and manufacturing project.
Requirements
* Proactive – You see what needs doing and get it done
* Organised – You can keep a warehouse running smoothly, even on your own
* Humble & Hungry – You're ready to roll your sleeves up and grow with the role
* Team-Oriented – While this is a solo role, you’ll be part of a wider warehouse environment
* Detail-Focused – Labelling, counting, packing, shipping – you care that it’s done right
* Smart – Not just with systems, but with how you work and solve problems
A counterbalance or bendi forklift licence is highly beneficial. A driving licence is desirable but not essential.
What’s In It For You?
* Salary: £27,500 – £32,500 (depending on experience)
* 23 days holiday + 8 bank holidays
* Company bonus scheme – performance-based
* BBQs/pizzas when targets are hit
* Uniform provided
* Free parking on-site
* Auto-enrolment pension
* Clear path to grow into a combined warehouse + production role as the company expands
* A real chance to make a difference and be seen, valued, and heard
