The Role
We are looking for an experienced FLT Reach Driver to join a busy warehouse and distribution operation in Dukinfield.
This is a hands-on role, with approximately 80% of your time spent operating the Reach Truck and the remaining 20% carrying out general warehouse, handballing and physical duties.
The main focus of the role will be loading and unloading vehicles, moving pallets around the warehouse and ensuring goods are handled safely and efficiently.
This is a temporary-to-permanent opportunity for the right candidate, with the potential to secure a permanent position following a successful temporary period.

Load and unload delivery vehicles using the Reach Truck
Move, stack and position pallets safely and efficiently
Load pallets onto vehicles correctly and securely
Ensure goods are handled carefully to prevent damage
Carry out general warehouse duties as required
Complete handballing and manual handling duties
Assist with loading, unloading and organising stock
Maintain a clean, tidy and safe working environment
Follow all Health & Safety procedures and company policies
Support the wider warehouse team when required The Ideal Candidate

A valid Reach Forklift Truck licence

Must be confident and competent operating the Reach Truck
Experience loading and unloading vehicles
Previous warehouse experience
Experience handling and moving pallets
Good understanding of safe FLT operation
Strong Health & Safety awareness
Good attention to detail
A reliable and hardworking attitude
Good physical fitness, as the role includes manual handling and handballing

This is not a purely FLT-based role.
Approximately 80% of the role will involve operating the Reach Truck, with around 20% involving handballing, manual handling and general warehouse/labouring duties.
Candidates must be confident and experienced on a Reach Truck. A Reach Truck licence is required, and applicants without relevant Reach experience will not be considered.
