Job description

Yard/Warehouse Operative – Huws Gray Lincoln – Keep Things Moving Behind the Scenes

We're now looking for a Yard/Warehouse Operative to join the team at our Lincoln branch. If you enjoy working outdoors, being part of a practical team, and delivering excellent customer service, we'd love to hear from you.

What you’ll be doing:

As a Yard/warehouse Operative, you’ll play a vital role in the day‑to‑day running of the yard. Here’s what the job involves:

• Helping customers find what they need – offering friendly, practical advice and sharing your knowledge of our products
• Handling deliveries – checking in goods, storing them safely and keeping everything organised
• Loading and unloading vehicles – working closely with the branch and driving teams to keep everything moving
• Looking after our yard & warehouse – keeping it safe, tidy and secure for our customers and colleagues

We're happy to explore flexible working options. Feel free to chat with us about it during the interview. While we might not be able to meet every request, we’ll always listen with an open mind and there’s no judgment in asking.

What you’ll bring:

We’re not expecting you to know it all from day one – that’s what we’re here for. We’ll give you the training and support to help you hit the ground running. What really matters is that you’ve got a great attitude and you’re ready to pitch in and be part of the team. Got a forklift licence? That’s a bonus – but it’s definitely not a deal‑breaker.
