  • Using computer systems and inventory management software to process receipts, track stock, and generate reports.

  • Ensuring stock levels are accurate and materials are stored correctly to support operational efficiency.

  • Maintaining a clean, organised, and safe working environment in line with health and safety standards.

  • Supporting other warehouse and logistics duties as required.

The Person:

  • Valid Counterbalance Forklift Truck licence (essential)

  • Full, clean, manual UK Driving Licence (Essential)

  • Strong understanding of Health & Safety in the workplace (essential – will be assessed at interview)
