Job description

Yard Operative

Yard Operative – Huws Gray Law- Keep Things Moving Behind the Scenes

Be Part of Something Bigger at Huws Gray.

Whether you're in the trade or simply love a good home improvement project, chances are you've heard of us. We’re the Huws Gray Group– home to a family of trusted brands including Huws Gray, Huws Gray Plant & Tool Hire, Civils & Lintels, The Timber Group, PDM, NDI, and Anglia Tool Centre. Across the UK, our branches support local communities with everything they need for building, improving, and creating – we couldn’t do it without our people and that’s where you come in!

We’re now looking for a Yard Operative to join the team at our Law 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:

• 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– 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.

We believe great work should be recognised and rewarded. Here’s what you can expect:

• A strong annual leave allowance, alongside your bank holidays
• Company bonus scheme, based on performance
• Contributory pensionand life assurance
