Warehouse Operative
Newton Abbot
£24K - £30K
I am working with a specialist business with a wide range of engineering operations including: manufacturing, design, service, installation and supply.
A Warehouse operative is required in their engineering stores on the Heathfield Industrial Estate.
Working as part of the Warehouse team the individual will need to be a self-starter, with an excellent knowledge of stores and warehouse procedures, able to communicate effectively with both colleagues and customers but also have a friendly and approachable “can do” attitude to fit in with the rest of the team on site.
About The Role
Reporting to the Warehouse Team Leader the role is very multi-purposed and will not be limited to Stores / Warehouse duties alone, you will be expected to serve customers at the busy trade counter, understanding their requirements and ensuring that the best customer experience is delivered at all times. This will include specifying components.
Warehouse duties will be expected, such as goods receipting, re-stocking components, stock taking and order packing. A good understanding of computer systems in a Warehouse environment would be a distinct advantage. Working closely with the rest of the Warehouse team on site to provide support and ensure that both customer and company needs are met as efficiently as possible.
As you will be customer facing so it is important you are well presented and have a polite and present demeaner.
This is Warehouse job that offers more than “your average” Warehouse operative position and with an employer that provide an excellent working environment, staff are valued and due to this vacancies don’t come around that often, it is an employer who treat their staff correctly and will always provide improvement and development opportunities to the right individuals and the great news is despite the challenges most business face at the moment, the company is busy as ever.
