This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated and reliable individual who enjoys a varied working day and takes pride in delivering high standards of accuracy and customer service.

Working as part of a supportive team, you will play a key role in ensuring materials, consumables and spare parts are available to support manufacturing operations.

A Counterbalance Forklift Truck Licence would also be beneficial, but training and testing can be arranged for the right candidate.

Some tasks involve manual handling and physical activity, so candidates should be comfortable working in a warehouse environment.
