About Us
We are a small, friendly, and rapidly growing business specialising in industrial paint products. We pride ourselves on our supportive team environment and our commitment to our staff. If you are looking for long-term job security, a dependable routine, and a team that genuinely values your hard work, you will fit right in here.

The Role
As a Warehouse Operative, you will be the backbone of our daily operations. This is a fast-paced and physically demanding role dealing with industrial paint products. Because many of our product codes look very similar, this job requires a sharp eye and high focus to ensure our customers get exactly what they ordered.

Key Responsibilities
Accurate Order Picking:  Correctly identifying, picking, and packing industrial paint products based on product codes.
Heavy Lifting:  Safely handling, moving, and stacking stock weighing up to 25KG on a regular basis.
Inventory Control:  Assisting with stock rotation, unloading deliveries, and keeping the warehouse clean and organised.
Maintaining Pace:  Working efficiently during standard hours and finding that "second gear" to increase speed during peak busy periods without dropping accuracy.

What We Are Looking For
Impeccable Attention to Detail:  You must be able to spot the minor differences between highly similar product codes to prevent errors.
Reliability & Punctuality:  As a small team, short-notice absences impact us heavily. We need someone dependable who takes pride in excellent attendance.
Strong Communication

Skills:

A good level of written, spoken, and reading English is essential for reading codes, labels, and safety instructions.
Great Attitude:  A fast learner with a genuine desire to do well and support the wider team.
Physical Fitness:  Comfortable with continuous heavy lifting (25KG) and being on your feet all day.

What We Offer in Return
We believe in rewarding loyalty and hard work. For the ideal candidate, we offer:
Financial Rewards:  Monthly and annual performance bonuses (applicable once your probationary period is successfully passed).
Extended Christmas Break:  Extra time off over the festive period to relax with family, without it impacting your standard annual leave allowance.
Job Security:  A stable, permanent role within a growing business.
A Supportive Environment:  We are a small team that treats each other like family, offering help, guidance, and occasional opportunities for internal growth and development.
