Do you enjoy hands-on work in a fast-paced warehouse environment? Are you reliable, safety-focused, and motivated by being part of a team that keeps goods moving efficiently? If so, you could be the newest addition to our team as a Loader/Offloader in Rathcoole.

Be part of the movement – and play your part.

About the role

Working Monday to Friday on the 14:00–22:00 shift, you'll play an important role in supporting the smooth flow of goods through the warehouse. You'll be responsible for loading and unloading vehicles, handling materials safely, and ensuring products are stored and prepared correctly.

You will be responsible for:

  • Loading and unloading goods from trucks, trailers, and containers safely and efficiently
  • Moving products and materials to designated storage and staging areas
  • Inspecting shipments for damage, shortages, or discrepancies
  • Organising and stacking products securely to prevent damage
  • Operating manual handling equipment, including pallet trucks and forklifts (where certified)
  • Maintaining a clean, safe, and organised work environment
  • Reporting damaged goods, equipment issues, or safety concerns and supporting daily operational targets

About you

You'll ideally have previous experience in a loading, unloading, warehouse, or logistics role and be comfortable working in a physically demanding environment. Strong attention to detail, good time-management skills, and an understanding of safe material-handling practices are essential.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
