About the Role:
We are currently seeking a Forklift Operator to join our warehouse operations team at Newbridge.

Hours: 0630-1845, 4 Days on 4 days off
Responsibilities:
- Warehouse Stock Movement: Operate reach or Flexi forklift trucks safely to move pallets, put away inbound stock into designated bin locations, and replenish forward pick faces from bulk storage.
- Store Replenishment Support: Move stock in line with replenishment cycles and picking priorities to ensure stock is available ahead of order generation, working closely with picking teams to minimise delays.
- Goods In & Putaway: Safely and efficiently unload supplier deliveries, check stock against documentation, report discrepancies, and prioritise immediate putaway.
- Goods Out & Loading: Load outbound vehicles in line with store delivery schedules, ensuring pallets are staged correctly based on route sequencing.
- Inventory Control: Maintain 100% stock location accuracy, support cycle counts, and immediately escalate issues such as misplaced stock, damaged goods, or system discrepancies.
- Health & Safety Compliance: Conduct daily pre-use forklift checks, report faults immediately, and adhere strictly to safe working practices at height and around warehouse pedestrians.
