We are currently seeking a reliable and experienced Warehouse Forklift Operative on a temporary basis to provide essential cover. The successful candidate must be confident operating both Counterbalance and Reach trucks ( in date, external license) and willing to support a variety of warehouse duties — this is not just a forklift role, and hands‑on manual handling will be required.

Key Responsibilities

As our Warehouse Forklift Operative, you will be responsible for: 

  • Operating Counterbalance and Reach trucks safely.
  • Picking pallets, sheets, and cartons, including packing where needed.
  • Assisting with unloading vehicles.
  • Completing put away of pallets and cases.
  • General warehouse duties and manual handling tasks.

Additional Requirements: 

  • A full driving licence is essential, as the Warehouse Forklift Operative will occasionally be required to bring lorries into the yard in the evening when needed.
  • Ability to work independently and within a small team.
  • Good attention to detail and safety awareness.

If you are a proactive Warehouse Forklift Operative looking for immediate temporary work, we’d love to hear from you. If you have any questions, please contact Aleks from Pertemps Maidstone.
