Warehouse Operative

Haddenham, Buckinghamshire | £30,000–£32,000 per annum | Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:30pm

K&D Recruitment is working with an established and growing specialist equipment hire business to recruit a Warehouse Operative to join its busy dispatch and logistics team.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys practical work, keeping things organised and working as part of a team. You'll help ensure equipment is prepared, checked and ready for customer deliveries, as well as handling returned items and maintaining accurate stock records.

The Role

Your responsibilities will include:

• Loading and unloading vehicles.
• Preparing equipment and machinery for dispatch against customer orders.
• Checking quantities, serial numbers and equipment details to ensure orders are correct.
• Receiving returned equipment and checking for damage, wear or missing items.
• Tagging and storing returned equipment in the correct locations.
• Locating stock and helping maintain accurate inventory records.
• Updating information using computer-based systems.
• Keeping the warehouse and working areas organised, safe and tidy.
• Operating a forklift when required.

About You

We're looking for someone who is:

• Reliable, practical and happy to get stuck in.
• Comfortable with a physically active, hands-on role.
• Organised, with good attention to detail.
• Able to work independently and as part of a team.
• Comfortable using basic computer systems.
• Flexible and willing to help where needed.

Previous warehouse, dispatch or logistics experience would be useful. Forklift experience is also an advantage, although it isn't essential as training and a licence can be provided.

You will need to be physically fit, as the role involves being on your feet throughout the day, lifting and moving equipment, and working outside in different weather conditions.

Working Hours & Overtime

Monday to Friday, 8:30am–5:30pm.

Flexibility is important, as occasional additional hours will be required to support the operation. This may involve starting earlier to help load vehicles or staying later when drivers return and need assistance unloading.

Additional hours average approximately 10 hours per month and are paid for hours worked. Weekend work is infrequent and, when required, is paid at time and a half.

What's on Offer?

• Salary of £30,000–£32,000 per annum.
• 24 days' annual leave plus bank holidays.
• 4% employer pension contribution.
• Optional company healthcare plan.
• Access to on-site sports facilities.
• Forklift training and licence provided where required.
• Ongoing training and development opportunities.

If you're looking for a stable, hands-on warehouse role within an established business, we'd be keen to hear from you.
