Are you someone who thrives in a hands-on role, takes ownership, and wants to be part of something growing from the ground up?

An exciting opportunity has opened up for a Warehouse & Workshop Operative to join a rapidly growing division of a well-established import and distribution business. This role is perfect for someone looking to take full responsibility for a dedicated warehouse and light production function within a small but ambitious team.

You’ll be the go-to person for all warehouse and workshop activities. This includes:

• Goods In: Receiving and inspecting deliveries, unloading containers
• Stock Handling: Putting stock away, picking, packing, relabelling
• Goods Out: Preparing orders, arranging courier transport, liaising with drivers
• Inventory: Stock takes, PI counts, and basic reporting
• Workshop Tasks: Setting up and operating converting machines
• Admin Tasks: Basic computer use, record keeping, labelling
• Samples: Managing incoming and outgoing samples
• Housekeeping: Keeping the workspace tidy and efficient
• Growth Potential: As the business evolves, so will this role

You’ll be working from a shared warehouse with around 6-7 others (from the parent company), but this position is fully dedicated to a fast-growing import and manufacturing project.

• Proactive - You see what needs doing and get it done
• Organised - You can keep a warehouse running smoothly, even on your own
• Humble & Hungry - You're ready to roll your sleeves up and grow with the role
• Team-Oriented - While this is a solo role, you’ll be part of a wider warehouse environment
• Detail-Focused - Labelling, counting, packing, shipping - you care that it’s done right
• Smart - Not just with systems, but with how you work and solve problems

A counterbalance or bendi forklift licence is highly beneficial. A driving licence is desirable but not essential.

• Salary: £27,500 - £32,500 (depending on experience)
• 23 days holiday + 8 bank holidays
• Company bonus scheme - performance-based
• BBQs/pizzas when targets are hit
• Uniform provided
• Free parking on-site
• Auto-enrolment pension
• Clear path to grow into a combined warehouse + production role as the company expands
• A real chance to make a difference and be seen, valued, and heard
