• Operating plant and equipment such as FLTs, loaders, pallet trucks, and other machinery (when trained and licensed).
• Maintaining accurate stock records and paperwork.
• Supporting stock and quality checks alongside the management team.
• Reporting hazards, incidents, and near misses while promoting a strong safety culture.
• Maintaining high housekeeping standards across the site.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to achieve operational targets and business objectives.
