Packaging FLT Operative

We are currently recruiting for a Packaging FLT Operative to join the Warehouse team of a well-established business.

This is a varied and important position that goes beyond a traditional FLT role. Although the successful candidate will undertake regular forklift duties, the primary focus will be on the accurate management, movement and reconciliation of stock.
