We're looking for a Warehouse Operative
We're looking for a smart, practical and hands-on person to join our warehouse team in Ongar, near Brentwood. This is a physical warehouse role so you'll be on your feet, managing inventory, investigating discrepancies, fulfilling orders and developing processes to improve how the warehouse operates. If you're someone who likes getting stuck into a problem, understanding how things work and making a system run properly, this might be the perfect job for you.
You don't need years of warehouse experience. We're more interested in someone who is reliable, switched-on, organised and interested in taking ownership and progressing in their career in operations.
What you'll be doing
Under the instruction of the Warehouse Team Lead, you'll be involved in the day-to-day running of our warehouse, including:
Stock & Inventory
- Receiving, checking and putting away incoming deliveries
- Conducting regular stock takes and ensuring physical stock matches our inventory records
- Investigating discrepancies when the numbers don't match
- Making sure products are stored correctly and stock is rotated to minimise waste
- Tracking damaged, missing or short-delivered goods and reporting issues
- Helping us improve the accuracy and organisation of our stock
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Warehouse Operations
- Picking and packing customer orders accurately and efficiently
- Preparing the appropriate regulatory and delivery documentation
- Relocating products using forklifts, pump trucks and other MHE equipment
- Loading and unloading deliveries
- Liaising with third-party logistics providers regarding collections and deliveries
- Keeping the warehouse clean, organised and safe
Getting Involved
As you become familiar with the operation, there will be opportunities to take on more responsibility and get involved in stock control, systems, reporting and process improvement. We're a small and growing business, so you'll be able to see how the different parts of the operation connect: from a supplier delivering stock, through our warehouse and inventory system, all the way to an order leaving for an independent retailer.
We're looking for someone who is:
- Bright, curious and good at solving problems
- Highly organised and naturally detail-oriented
- Comfortable working with numbers, systems and spreadsheets
- Reliable and takes pride in getting things right
- Happy doing physical, hands-on work every day
- Comfortable taking responsibility rather than waiting to be told what to do
- A good communicator who can work well with suppliers, drivers and colleagues
- Interested in understanding how a business actually operates
