Picture a warehouse. Now make it bigger. Now double its size. When your main product is Aluminium used in windows, doors, conservatories and Balustrades you need a lot of space. To give you a realistic idea, you could fit four full-sized football pitches in our warehouse.

Alongside our aluminium products, we have our accessories. Everything from Hinges and screws, to Vents, drainage trays and glazing beads.

That's where you come in.

Working in our Accessories team, you'll sort the stock as we receive it, and also prepare it to be sent out to our customers. Within a few weeks, you'll be great at knowing the difference between an interlocking handle, and a lever handle, a residential door hinge, and a top hung sterling hinge. Don't worry, you'll be trained on the process and have support in getting up to speed.

It's not all about dispatch and goods in though, some of the role involves putting kits together. Some of our stock needs to go out in sets (Like screws with hinges). This will need to be boxed together ready to be shipped out.

As a warehouse operative, you'll be in a very physical job. You'll spend your days preparing on over a tonne of stock to be shipped out to our customers. For larger orders and items, we do have our forklifts for you to use.

You'll be trained on how to use our sales order processing systems, and how to recognise each product - All we need from you is a willingness to learn, and team player mentality, and the physical fitness to be able to keep our customers happy by making sure their orders are shipped out on time.

A day in the life of a Warehouse Operative will involve:

Picking, checking and packing orders ready for dispatch - This could be hundreds of small items per day, so you'll need lots of energy. Safely loading and unloading our lorries, ensuring the right products are going to the right place. Keeping our system up to date with stock numbers, and what has been done so our customer service team know what to say if someone calls and asks. Playing a part in stocktakes when required, to make sure we have the right stock available at the right times. Working in a safe way to look after yourself, your colleagues, and the material we sell.

To be a successful Warehouse Operative, you'll need:

To be physically fit. Some of our team members do over 15,000 steps per day! And move around over a tonne of accessories. To be willing to learn about our processes and products, and how to use our software. To be able to commit to our working pattern and be able to get to our warehouse. Public transport can be tricky, so a reliable way of getting here is needed. To have a can-do attitude and be willing to step in and help out our team members when required.

In return for your commitment and expertise, you'll get:

Holidays -

You'll get 33 days annual leave (including bank holidays) which increases to 38 days with length of service.
