We’re hiring Warehouse Technician Operatives to join our Wakefield team across both manufacturing (Goods In) and distribution. These roles sit at the heart of our operation, helping ensure materials are received, handled, stored and moved efficiently so we can keep production running and customers supplied.

Whether you’re already experienced or looking for a new direction, you’ll receive full training, structured development and the opportunity to build a long-term career in a fast-paced, supportive environment.

What you’ll become part of

Wakefield brings together one of the largest soft drinks manufacturing sites in Europe with a high-volume, 24/7 distribution centre. It’s a fast-paced, large-scale operation where production, warehousing and logistics work closely together to keep millions of products moving each year.

With a collaborative, high-performing culture and a strong focus on continuous improvement, it’s an environment where you can build skills, gain broad experience across different areas of the operation, and access longer-term development opportunities both locally and across the wider business.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll develop the skills and flexibility to work across key warehouse activities, either within Goods In or distribution.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Safely operating forklift trucks (full training provided)


• Receiving, storing and organising stock within warehouse areas


• Preparing and assembling orders ready for dispatch


• Using SAP and warehouse management systems to track and manage stock


• Stacking goods across different storage systems, including racking and block stack


• Supporting stock accuracy, traceability and smooth vehicle movements


• Carrying out basic quality checks and maintaining high housekeeping standards

Over time, you’ll build confidence across multiple tasks and gain a strong understanding of how the wider operation fits together.

What we’re looking for

We’re open to different backgrounds and experiences. What matters most is your mindset and approach. We’re looking for people who:

• Take safety seriously and pay attention to detail


• Are reliable and take ownership of their work


• Work well as part of a team and communicate effectively


• Are comfortable following processes and using systems


• Are open to learning new skills and developing over time


• Can be flexible with shift working, including days and nights

Previous warehouse or manufacturing experience can be helpful, but it isn’t essential.
