This is a full-time role working on a rotating shift pattern of 6am – 2pm, 2pm – 10pm, 10pm – 6am.

• Loading/unloading products from plant and vehicles
• Ensuring accurate and timely dispatch to meet customer expectations
• Supporting continuous improvement initiatives across the site

What We’re Looking For

The ideal Operative will be able to demonstrate proven experience working within a similar production and despatch environment. In addition, experience in any of the following areas would be beneficial to your application:

• Good communication skills and strong numeracy
• A mobile plant licence for diesel counterbalance forklift truck
• Strong teamwork and collaboration skills
• Previous experience with manual handling

We’re also looking for someone who:

• Is safety-conscious and detail-oriented
• Thrives in a fast-paced, team-focused environment
• Is flexible and reliable with a strong work ethic

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a supportive and forward-thinking team
• Work in a role where no two days are the same
• Opportunities to grow and develop your skills

If you're ready to bring your energy, experience, and commitment to a role where you’ll be truly valued — we’d love to hear from you.

The role is based at our Nuneaton site, easily accessible from Coventry, Hinckley, Bedworth, Atherstone, Tamworth, Rugby, and the surrounding areas.
