• Proven experience as a Yard Operative, Warehouse Operative, or in a similar hands-on logistics role.
• A valid, in-date Forklift Licence (Counterbalance and/or Reach) is highly desirable and may command a higher pay rate.
• A strong understanding of health and safety procedures in a warehouse/yard environment.
• Excellent physical fitness, a reliable attitude, and the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team in all weather conditions.
