• Loading finished goods onto delivery vehicles
• Assisting with light assembly tasks if required

Both roles include general housekeeping duties and supporting smooth warehouse operations.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience using a counterbalance forklift – essential (licence not required)
• Previous experience in a warehouse, dispatch, or goods-in environment
• Strong attention to detail and good timekeeping
• Willingness to learn and follow instructions
• Comfortable with manual handling and physical work
• Good communication skills and a team-oriented attitude

What’s in it for You:

• Permanent, full-time role with weekly pay
