- Operating warehouse machinery such as pedestrian pallet trucks (PPT) and manual handling equipment after appropriate training, always adhering to strict health and safety protocols.
- Ensuring the warehouse environment is kept clean, tidy, and organized at all times, contributing to a safe and efficient workplace for the entire team.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in a similar warehouse, logistics, or distribution role is highly advantageous.
- A strong focus on health and safety, with a clear understanding of safe manual handling techniques.
- A reliable, punctual, and hard-working attitude with the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
- Good numerical skills and attention to detail for accurate order picking and stock management.
