Overview

As a Warehouse Operative for Ocado Logistics, you are at the heart of preparing orders for customers. Join our warehouse in Bristol where you'll be working in a state-of-the-art facility preparing orders for customers.

You don't need any previous experience to join our friendly team. Just bring yourself and a positive attitude and our amazing training team will do the rest!

Here at Ocado Logistics, our people, technology, and customers work side by side supporting the amazing communities we serve. We're all in it together - not afraid to roll up our sleeves (robots included) and get stuck in.

Our people are incredibly diverse and come from all walks of life with different stories and experiences. We are proud that we are a disability-confident employer; we prioritise inclusivity and equal opportunities for all individuals, ensuring a supportive and accessible workplace for employees with disabilities.

Ocado Group is an equal opportunities employer and as such makes every effort to ensure that all potential employees are treated fairly and equally, regardless of their sex, sexual orientation, marital status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, age, or disability or union membership status.

Roles

• Despatch – You'll be loading individual totes into frames which are then loaded into our delivery vans for our customers. You'll also be required to sort and organise totes coming back to site. This is a physical role and you will need to be able to lift heavy totes into the frames. No need for a gym membership!
• Pick – You'll be picking and packing customer orders into shopping totes. This is a process that requires you to handle goods with care, but you will have some help from our robots!
• Inbound – You'll be receiving goods from suppliers and putting these into totes so that our robots and pickers can do their jobs.
• Freezer – You'll be picking and packing frozen items for customer orders into totes within a very large freezer. Full gear is provided as you will be working in temperatures of up to -25°. So if you like the cold, this is the job for you!
