Are you an experienced Forklift Operator looking for your next opportunity?
Yeo Valley is on the lookout for a reliable and skilled Logistics Operative to join our busy distribution team at Isleport, Somerset. This is a fantastic role for someone who enjoys working in a fast-moving warehouse environment and has solid hands-on experience operating Reach Trucks, Counterbalance Forklifts and other Material Handling Equipment (MHE).
In this role, you’ll be at the heart of our operation - moving stock safely and efficiently, keeping the warehouse flowing, and ensuring every order leaves in perfect condition. Accuracy and attention to detail are key, especially when picking and packing. You’ll also be supporting with stock control, general warehouse duties, and upholding the highest standards of safety and hygiene.
As One Of Our Co-owners Put It
“Working in a chilled warehouse keeps you on your toes - it’s fast-paced, rewarding, and you know you’re part of a team that keeps everything moving.”
We’re ideally looking for someone with a valid (or recently expired) Reach Truck licence and proven forklift/MHE experience in a warehouse or logistics setting. A flexible, safety-first attitude and strong teamwork are essential.
