Job description



Driver/Warehouse Operative



Your Local Plumbers Merchant is hiring!

Active Plumbing Supplies Wellington is situated on the Ryelands Business Park in Wellington, we are a fast past business and we are looking for someone to join our growing team who is keen to learn all aspects of the business, as this is a split role your time will be spent in the delivery vehicle as well as general warehouse duties and supporting on the trade counter. Full training will be provided and career progression is also available.

No 2 days are the same, we deliver locally and far afield within the UK, we have to be flexible for our customers, one day you could be delivering 3-4 drops pre-loaded and on other days you could be doing lots of local deliveries with returns to branch to load each time. Our customers range from remote elderly retail to large construction sites so delivery addresses are not always available, deviating from a sat nav is to be expected!

Candidates would need to consider this role carefully, we are an extremely busy and well-known supplier in the local area and therefore customer service, time keeping and punctuality are key attributes to be a successful candidate. Basic plumbing knowledge is desirable but not essential.

This is a physically demanding job, lots of our products are heavy and bulky and although we have all the correct handling equipment such as ramps and pump trucks etc sometimes this can't be done and elbow grease is required. All deliveries are kerbside only unless you are confident in offering further assistance.
