Job description

About the role

You’ll be working in a busy, temperature‑controlled warehouse, handling stock and preparing orders to meet strict schedules and quality standards.

You will be responsible for:

• Receiving, picking, assembling, and loading orders in line with KPIs
• Operating Warehouse Management Systems and following customer schedules
• Handling stock carefully to minimise damage and maintain accuracy

You will be someone who enjoys a fast‑paced, busy environment, works well in a team, and stays focused under pressure. If you’re task‑oriented, flexible, and collaborative, you’ll fit right in.
