Company Summary

Rockit is a technical production and hire company, supplying the event industry with technical services, lighting, sound and audio visual equipment. The company was founded in 2007 and has experienced rapid growth in the last five years pre-pandemic, meeting and exceeding the needs of a wide and prestigious client base. Rockit is a small company, with a huge appetite to succeed, striving to maintain a personal, bespoke and flawless experience for our clients. Our 'can do' and thorough approach ensures the exceptional standards required to deliver the high quality events in which we pride ourselves. With our office & warehouse based in Hertfordshire, we have good transport links into Central London where the majority of our work is placed although our clients and events are placed across the UK.

Job Outline

This role will be predominantly based at our warehouse in Cheshunt although there will be some opportunities for supporting work on site. We have a busy warehouse and so require you to be highly motivated, proactive and able to work well in a high pressured environment. As Assistant Warehouse Manager, you will be expected to manage the organisation of equipment and ensure all job preparations are accurate and ready to go on a daily basis. You will need to maintain accurate records and have a close eye for detail, identifying potential problems or missing equipment. Upon return, you will need to check equipment thoroughly to ensure equipment is complete, tested and then stored. During loads and unloads, you will take an active lead, ensuring that the process is efficient, maximising time and space. Keeping a tidy and organised warehouse, with well maintained equipment, will allow you to ensure the smooth running of the warehouse which is the heart of our business. With quick turnarounds and high pressures, it is essential that the warehouse is well maintained and ready to go at all times and you will need excellent time management skills to ensure all work is completed efficiently and thoroughly. We are looking for someone who is happy to be proactive and use their ingenuity to promote improvements and take responsibility for the day to day running of the warehouse. We are a small company so you will need to be willing to support all aspects of the company workload. Between events, you will carry out repairs and maintenance of the company's stock holding and will lead PAT testing for all electrical equipment annually. The job will require manual handling with heavy lifting as well as customer facing activities, so you must reflect our high standards and hard working ethos throughout. It is important that you have clean personal hygiene, smart presentation and a polite, accommodating personality. Live events can mean long hours, with early starts, late evenings and work at the weekends so a positive, good humoured attitude is essential alongside a passion for and dedication to the industry.
