You’ll work alongside experienced colleagues and managers, playing a vital role in ensuring freight is handled safely, accurately and efficiently while helping us keep freight moving across the UK and Europe.

You must be confident reporting hazards, damaged equipment, unsafe practices or anything else that could compromise the safety of yourself or others.

Attention to Detail

Accuracy is extremely important within our PM warehouse operation.

Freight must be scanned, checked, sorted and loaded correctly. Small mistakes can result in freight being misrouted, delayed or loaded onto the wrong trunk or vehicle.
