About the role

Due to continued growth, we are looking for a reliable and hardworking Warehouse Operative to join our busy Avonmouth distribution centre.

This is a hands-on, physical role in a fast-paced environment where accuracy, teamwork and efficiency are essential. You’ll play a key role in ensuring stock is received, stored, picked and shipped correctly to support our global operations.

• Operating handling equipment (manual, electric, forklifts – training provided if needed)
• Maintaining high standards of housekeeping and organisation across the warehouse
• Using warehouse systems and IT tools to ensure stock accuracy
• Working safely and in line with all Health & Safety procedures

What we’re looking for

• Previous warehouse experience is preferred (ideally within stock control or dispatch)
• Physically fit and comfortable with manual handling and being on your feet
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
• Ability to work to deadlines in a fast-paced environment
• A team player with a proactive and positive attitude
• Basic IT skills and willingness to learn warehouse systems
• Forklift experience is an advantage, but not essential (training provided)
