Contract Type: Permanent and Fixed Term Contracts Available

Contracted Hours: 38 hours per week, working Monday to Friday

What You'll be Doing

Operating within a 40,000 square-foot high-racked warehouse environment, you will play a key role in ensuring the accurate receipt, storage, control and distribution of stock throughout the CalMac network.

This is more than a traditional warehouse role. While you'll be primarily based at Faulds Park, you'll also have opportunities to travel throughout Scotland, supporting ports, vessels and shipyards across the network and contributing directly to the operation of Scotland's lifeline ferry services.

You Will:

• Operate forklifts and associated warehouse equipment
• Receive, inspect and book stock into inventory systems
• Pick, pack and dispatch materials to vessels and ports
• Drive company vehicles to deliver goods across operational locations
• Maintain accurate inventory records through cycle counts and stock audits
• Support the return and dispatch of components and equipment for repair and overhaul activities
• Assist with stocktaking programmes and inventory control activities
• Ensure compliance with health and safety procedures, warehouse standards and company policies
• Support continuous improvement initiatives

What We're Looking For

We're looking for individuals who enjoy working in a fast paced environment who take pride in maintaining high standards of accuracy, customer service and safety. 

Experience working with a high-racked warehouse, stores or distribution environment is essential as is experience of stock control, inventory management and material tracking. Good IT skills with experience of using warehouse management, inventory control or stock control systems.

Current Counterbalance and/or Reach Truck certification is preferred, although applications without these qualifications will be considered. Candidates should at a minimum possess a full UK Driving Licence.

Why CalMac?

You'll benefit from:

• A varied role combining warehouse operations, logistics and network support
• Opportunities to travel throughout the CalMac network, including ports, vessels and shipyards
• Exposure to specialist technical stores and engineering supply operations
• A competitive salary
• A very attractive Company pension scheme, helping you plan for the future
• Free travel throughout the CalMac network for you, your partner and dependent children
• Access to a range of employee benefits and wellbeing support initiatives

Please note, candidates who pass our initial screening stage will be invited to a brief conversation with the Recruitment Team to learn more about their experience and assess their suitability before progressing to interview
