No two days are the same, but your role will normally involve quality checking our products to ensure they are labelled accurately, stored safely, and ready to be collected by our customers. You will have the opportunity to demonstrate the most efficient stock retrieval technique using our mechanical handling equipment (MHE) varying from: counterbalance FLTs (occasionally with boom/pole extension), picker lifts, reach trucks, and pallet trucks. There is also an element of manual handling up to 25kg in packs of flooring screeds/adhesives, and helping to load or unload our vans and lorries. But the fun doesn't stop there! You will also meet and greet customers and suppliers when they visit our goods-in/collection door, and from time to time, be the face of our business on our branded Trade Counter.

What we are looking for:

Valid Counterbalance FLT licence (essential)

Industry knowledge and experience (desirable)

Knowledge of our competitors, and our group companies (desirable)

Basic knowledge and understanding of Health & Safety

Previous experience working in a warehousing environment (desirable)

Comfortable working within a fast-paced and results-driven environment

Flexible attitude toward varying working hours

Customer service skills (desirable)

First Aid Qualification (desirable)

Please ensure you are happy with the commute before applying.
