About the Opportunity
Our client, is looking for a motivated and organised Stores & Despatch Operative to join their friendly team in Colchester.
This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of a key operational area within a small, supportive team. If you enjoy a hands‑on role, like keeping things organised, and want to be part of a growing business, this could be the perfect fit.
Key Responsibilities
Goods In Management - receiving deliveries, checking items, and storing parts correctly.
Order Preparation - packaging and preparing spare‑part orders for dispatch.
Courier Coordination - arranging collections and entering shipment details into carrier systems.
Warehouse Organisation - maintaining a tidy, safe, and efficient workshop and warehouse environment.
Issue Resolution - liaising with carriers and suppliers to resolve delivery or collection issues. Skills & Experience
Accuracy and attention to detail.
Physical fitness to handle manual tasks.
Workload organisation and the ability to prioritise effectively.
Team integration - friendly, reliable, and happy to support colleagues.
Experience in warehousing or a similar environment is beneficial but not essential.
A forklift licence is helpful, but training can be provided for the right candidate.
Why This Role Stands Out
Join a stable, respected UK manufacturer.
Work in a small, supportive team where your contribution genuinely matters.
Opportunity to learn new skills, including forklift training.
Early finish on Fridays.
If you are a motivated individual with a keen eye for detail and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, we want to hear from you! Apply now!
Note:
Only candidates with their own transport will be considered due to the location of the client.
