Chalgrove | £33,102–£34,328 (inc. shift allowance) | Permanent | 4 on 4 off

A globally recognised aerospace manufacturer in Chalgrove is looking for a Manufacturing Stores Operative to join its team on a permanent basis.

This is a busy, hands-on role that keeps the operation moving — covering packing, stores and internal logistics in a fast-paced production environment where getting things right first time, every time, genuinely matters.

The Role

• Primary and final packing of parts, components and products to customer and technical requirements

• Validating batch numbers, part descriptions and quantities against SAP and flagging any discrepancies

• Ensuring goods leave correctly packed, labelled and addressed in line with requirements

• Liaising with logistics and shipping teams to keep dispatch running to schedule

• Picking, packing and issuing materials and stock from Detail Stores and Raw Material Stores

• Receiving materials, goods and stock from the main factory and external sources

• Moving goods around the site using forklift trucks, electric pallet stackers and scissor lift equipment

• Supporting Raw Material Stores duties including saw operation and basic measurement inspection

• Carrying out self-inspection and quality checks in line with procedures

• Contributing to 5S and continuous improvement activities

• Following all H&S regulations throughout

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in stores, packing or warehousing within a manufacturing environment — desirable but not essential

• Methodical and structured, with a strong eye for detail

• Physically capable and able to work at pace in a busy environment

• Clear communicator who can follow instructions accurately

• Basic IT skills including Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel)

• GCSE Maths and English or equivalent

• Full UK driving licence desirable — forklift truck training will be provided for the right candidate

What’s on Offer

• £27,000–£28,000 base salary + 22.6% shift allowance (total package £33,102–£34,328)

• 4 on 4 off shift pattern (days)

• Strong benefits package

• Genuine progression opportunities

• Long-term stability backed by over a decade of secured contracts

A permanent role with a well-respected name in aerospace — if you’re reliable, detail-focused and looking for stable, long-term work in a well-run team, this is worth applying for.
