If you are looking for a long-term career working for a global organisation, where there are plenty of opportunities for personal and professional growth then this may be the role for you.

• Sequence goods according to designated routes.

• Complete necessary documentation to record the movement of freight, mail, and equipment.
• Conduct necessary checks on imports and exports to meet company and customer requirements.
• Record and process cargo information using handheld technology.

What we are looking for

• A clear basic DBS check and a full 5-year work/education reference history.
• Ideally, 2 years warehouse experience.
• Some form of counterbalance experience and be able to pass an assessment.
• Compliance with CAA regulations is ideal but not a deal breaker here.
• Physical fitness to handle cartons weighing 22kg and move large quantities.
• Experience with textiles, pallet handling, and vehicle loading/unloading.
• Strong numeracy skills and attention to detail.

Additional Information

• Overtime opportunities are available, with the potential to work extra hours during weekends.
• Once permanent there will be further rises to salary dependent on training and knowledge within the role.
• Flexibility, strong communication skills, and a solid understanding of Health & Safety protocols in the workplace are essential.
• If you have relevant warehouse experience and hold a current Forklift Truck license, we encourage you to apply now!
