Job description

A Varied Role. A Vital Part of the Team.

At MacGregor Industrial Supplies, delivering great service starts long before a product reaches the customer. We're looking for a Driver & Warehouse Operative to join our Kirkwall team and play a key role in keeping stock moving, supporting the branch and delivering excellent service to our customers.

This is a genuinely multi-skilled role where no two days are the same. One day you could be making customer deliveries, the next unloading stock, replenishing shelves, supporting the warehouse team or helping customers in the branch.

If you enjoy variety, like being hands‑on and take pride in doing a job well, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

As a Driver & Warehouse Operative you'll support the day-to-day operation of the branch, warehouse and delivery service, helping ensure customers receive the products they need, when they need them.

Responsibilities

• Delivering products safely and professionally to customers across Orkney
• Loading and unloading vehicles safely and efficiently
• Receiving, checking and putting away deliveries
• Picking, packing and preparing customer orders
• Replenishing stock throughout the showroom, warehouse and storage areas
• Assisting with stock counts and maintaining stock accuracy
• Supporting the warehouse team with goods in, goods out and general warehouse duties
• Maintaining a clean, organised and safe working environment
• Carrying out daily vehicle checks and reporting any defects
• Providing excellent customer service during deliveries and branch interactions
• Supporting colleagues across different areas of the branch when required
• Following all health and safety procedures and company policies

What We're Looking For

You’ll ideally have:

• A full UK driving licence
• Previous experience in a warehouse, stores, delivery driving or logistics environment
• Good organisational skills and attention to detail
• A positive and customer‑focused attitude
• The ability to work independently and as part of a team
• A proactive approach and willingness to learn new skills
• The ability to undertake manual handling activities safely
• Basic IT skills and confidence using handheld devices or business systems
• A forklift licence would be advantageous, but training can be provided for the right candidate.

Why Join MacGregor Industrial Supplies?

We're a family‑owned business with a strong reputation for service, reliability and supporting our people.

Our values guide everything we do:

• Be the Best – taking pride in quality, standards and teamwork.
• Do the Right Thing – working safely, responsibly and with integrity.
• Community Spirit – supporting colleagues and helping each other succeed.
• Future Focus – embracing new skills, opportunities and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Receive

• 37.5‑hour working week
• Death in Service Benefit
• Discretionary Annual Bonus Scheme
• Additional Holiday Entitlement after One Year of Service
• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) providing free, confidential 24/7 support for you and your immediate family
• Ongoing training and development opportunities
• A varied role with opportunities to learn multiple skills across the branch
• A supportive team environment where everyone contributes to success

Ready to Get Involved?

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys variety, likes being active and wants to be part of a team that works together to deliver for customers.

If you're looking for a role where you can develop a broad range of skills and make a real contribution every day, we'd love to hear from you.
