We are currently recruiting for a Packaging FLT Operative to join the Warehouse team of a well-established business.

About the Role

This is a key position within the business, supporting both production and warehousing operations. The role would suit an organised and reliable individual who takes pride in maintaining accurate stock records, works well under pressure and is confident operating FLT equipment in a busy environment.

Essential Attributes

• FLT experience, including reach truck operation.
• Good attention to detail and accuracy.
• Ability to manage and prioritise workload effectively.
• Good understanding of warehouse and Health & Safety procedures.
• Reliable and organised approach to work.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a wider team.
