Job Overview

We are seeking a dedicated Warehouse Picker \& Relief Driver to join our dynamic logistics team. This role involves selecting and packing items accurately within a busy warehouse environment, as well as providing relief driving support to ensure timely deliveries. The successful candidate will be responsible for handling materials efficiently, operating relevant equipment, and maintaining high standards of safety and quality.

  • Check quantities, products, and any customer\-specific requirements as you pick.

  • Handle chilled and temperature\-sensitive products correctly at all times.
Order Accuracy \& Queries
  • Pick to the correct quantities — if in doubt, check with the Supervisor before loading.

Relief Driving
  • \*\*Appointees must hold a full, clean UK driving licence.\*\*

  • Report any accidents, near\-misses, or hazards to the Picking Supervisor immediately.
Warehouse \& Stock

  • Assist with stock counts as and when required.
What We’re Looking For
