We are looking for a Logistics Operator to join our new Swindon facility. This hands‑on, shop‑floor role is at the heart of our operations, keeping parts and materials moving through the site—receiving and inspecting goods inwards, storing and picking stock, kitting and feeding the production cells, and packing and dispatching finished aircraft and spares.
The Role
You keep parts and materials moving through the site by ensuring the right parts are in the right place, at the right time, in the right condition and with the right paperwork. You work closely with Supply Chain, Production Planning & Control, Quality, and the electronics and integration cells, and you are part of building the logistics operation from the ground up as the site scales through the OVERMATCH programme.
Key Responsibilities

- Pick stock accurately against works orders and requests.
- Carry out cycle counts and stock checks, and keep stock locations and system records accurate and tidy.
- Maintain the integrity of the physical stock and its system record so the factory’s material picture stays honest.
- Kitting and line‑side feed
- Prepare and issue kits to the electronics, integration and other production cells against the build schedule.
- Replenish line‑side stock and keep point‑of‑use materials available so production is never waiting on parts.
- Dispatch and shipping
- Pick, pack and prepare goods for dispatch, ensuring correct labelling, protection and documentation.
- Generate shipping paperwork, including packing lists, transport documents and dangerous goods declarations (ADR/IATA) where required.
- Inspect outgoing shipments against the order to confirm accuracy before they leave site.
- Coordinate collections with carriers and couriers and support timely customer and inter‑site dispatches.
- Equipment, safety and housekeeping
- Operate forklifts, pallet trucks and other material‑handling equipment safely and within your authorisation.
- Work to all health, safety and security procedures, and handle goods correctly and securely at all times.
- Keep the warehouse, stores and dispatch areas clean, organised and audit‑ready (5S).
- Support continuous improvement of logistics processes and ways of working.
Essential Skills
- Experience in a logistics, warehouse, stores, goods‑in or shipping/receiving role, ideally in a manufacturing or engineering environment.
