About Us
We are a small, friendly, and rapidly growing business specialising in industrial paint products. We pride ourselves on our supportive team environment and our commitment to our staff. If you are looking for long-term job security, a dependable routine, and a team that genuinely values your hard work, you will fit right in here.
The Role
As a Warehouse Operative, you will be the backbone of our daily operations. This is a fast-paced and physically demanding role dealing with industrial paint products. Because many of our product codes look very similar, this job requires a sharp eye and high focus to ensure our customers get exactly what they ordered.
Key Responsibilities

• Accurate Order Picking: Correctly identifying, picking, and packing industrial paint products based on product codes.

• Heavy Lifting: Safely handling, moving, and stacking stock weighing up to 25KG on a regular basis.

• Inventory Control: Assisting with stock rotation, unloading deliveries, and keeping the warehouse clean and organised.

• Maintaining Pace: Working efficiently during standard hours and finding that "second gear" to increase speed during peak busy periods without dropping accuracy.

• Impeccable Attention to Detail: You must be able to spot the minor differences between highly similar product codes to prevent errors.

• Reliability & Punctuality: As a small team, short-notice absences impact us heavily. We need someone dependable who takes pride in excellent attendance.

• Strong Communication Skills: A good level of written, spoken, and reading English is essential for reading codes, labels, and safety instructions.

• Great Attitude: A fast learner with a genuine desire to do well and support the wider team.

• Physical Fitness: Comfortable with continuous heavy lifting (25KG) and being on your feet all day.

• Financial Rewards: Monthly and annual performance bonuses (applicable once your probationary period is successfully passed).

• Extended Christmas Break: Extra time off over the festive period to relax with family, without it impacting your standard annual leave allowance.

• Job Security: A stable, permanent role within a growing business.

• A Supportive Environment: We are a small team that treats each other like family, offering help, guidance, and occasional opportunities for internal growth and development.
