We’re looking for a reliable, hands-on Warehouse Operative to join our busy Speedy Freight team.
This is a varied role where you’ll be involved in the day-to-day running of the warehouse — from goods in and order picking through to labelling, loading vehicles and getting everything ready for dispatch.

- Picking and preparing customer orders accurately and efficiently
- Labelling and checking outbound shipments ready for dispatch
- Loading vehicles safely and making sure everything is ready on time
- Unloading deliveries and containers, checking goods and putting stock away correctly
- Using warehouse systems and scanning equipment to keep stock and orders up to date
- Keeping the warehouse organised, clean and safe
- Following health & safety procedures and safe working practices
- Supporting the Warehouse Manager and stepping up to oversee the operation when required
- Working closely with the wider team to make sure customer deliveries go out accurately and on time
