We are seeking a reliable, detail-oriented Warehouse Operative to join our dedicated hire operations team. In this role, you will play a key part in preparing hire equipment for dispatch — ensuring everything is clean, complete, safe, and ready to reach our customers.
What You’ll Do
*
Prepare hire items for dispatch by checking their condition, cleanliness, and functionality.
*
Fit necessary accessories and components to main units according to job or customer specifications.
*
Assemble part-build kits when required — verifying all components are included and properly secured.
*
Pick and pack hire orders accurately, based on dispatch notes or system-generated lists.
*
Perform quality checks on all outgoing items to ensure they meet safety, cleanliness, and operational standards.
*
Work closely with the hire desk, drivers, and other warehouse colleagues to coordinate timely and accurate dispatch.
*
Label equipment and complete all required paperwork or system entries.
*
Maintain a tidy, organised, and safe working area at all times.
*
Adhere to all health & safety procedures and contribute to a positive safety culture.
*
Assist with general warehouse tasks such as goods-in, stock rotation, and other duties as required.
What We’re Looking For
*
Previous experience working in a warehouse environment is essential.
*
Supervisory or team-lead experience is a plus (but not required).
*
Forklift truck licence is advantageous — though full training will be provided.
*
Experience or qualification in warehouse operations, supply-chain, or logistics (e.g. IOSCM) is welcome but not mandatory.
*
Good communication skills — able to liaise with other departments and colleagues via email, calls or Teams.
*
Excellent organisational skills with the ability to prioritise workloads to meet dispatch deadlines.
*
A strong eye for detail, high standards of accuracy, and a commitment to safety.
