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.

In this space, our full production line happens, from receiving untreated goods, to painting, to adding the plastic that makes it insulated. Everything that turns a piece of aluminium into our high spec, top of the range products happens tin this space.

Once the work has been done to create our products, we need team members to pick out orders, ready to be shipped to our customers.

That's where you come in.

As a warehouse operative, you'll be in a very physical job. You'll spend your days preparing on average 300 bars of Aluminium to be sent out to our customers. These aren't light - Some of the bars are up to 25kg in weight (Don't worry, we'd expect two people to lift this size!). You'll also spend some time getting our accessories ready for dispatch too.

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 up to 300 bars per day, so you'll need lots of energy. Safely loading and unloading our vans, 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 lift over a tonne of aluminium. 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.

Holidays -

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