Warehouse Operative

A warehouse operative is responsible for the day-to-day handling and movement of goods in a warehouse or distribution centre. The role involves receiving deliveries, checking stock, picking and packing orders, and ensuring all goods are stored safely and correctly. Attention to detail is important for keeping accurate records, and there may be a requirement to use machinery such as forklifts or pallet trucks. Physical fitness is beneficial, as the job can involve lifting and standing for long periods. Warehouse operatives play a key role in the smooth running of supply chains for retailers, manufacturers, and logistics companies.
