A look into the role
As a key member of our Warehouse Operations team, you will support the smooth, safe and efficient flow of goods throughout our site. This is a varied and hands‑on role where successful candidates will be expected to become multi‑skilled across several operational areas including replenishment, loading and general warehouse duties, helping to maintain high operational standards across the warehouse operation.
In this role, you will support putaway and replenishment activities using warehouse equipment and forklift trucks where appropriately trained, ensuring picking locations remain fully stocked to support the wider operation. You will also be involved in supporting loading operations, including marshalling cages, assisting with loading and unloading vehicles, managing returns, shrink‑wrapping pallets and helping to maintain a safe, organised loading area at all times.
General duties may also include supporting cycle counts, quality checks, housekeeping activities and working closely with System Administrators, Team Leaders and wider warehouse colleagues to maintain excellent operational, food safety and health & safety standards.
