We are currently recruiting for a hands-on and proactive Operations Operative to join a growing specialist equipment hire business providing temporary HVAC solutions to commercial and industrial customers across the UK.

This is a varied role combining warehouse operations, equipment servicing, site support and logistics. You’ll play an important part in ensuring equipment is maintained, prepared and ready for hire, while supporting engineers with installations, decommissioning projects and emergency callouts.

• Coordinate with drivers, site teams and lifting contractors to ensure deliveries and lifting operations are completed safely.
• Assist with loading, unloading and moving equipment using a forklift.
• Support warehouse operations and ensure equipment is organised and available for hire.
• Complete stock takes and maintain accurate inventory records.
• Maintain a clean, safe and organised warehouse and yard.
• Identify site challenges and suggest practical improvements to working methods and operational processes.
• Maintain clear and professional communication with engineers, customers, transport providers and site personnel.
• Promote safe working practices and ensure health & safety procedures are followed.
• Provide general operational support across the business as required.

The right candidate will have/be:

• B2 Forklift Licence.
• Capable of manual handling and working outdoors in all weather conditions.
• Comfortable working at height, with training provided where required.
• Willingness to travel across the UK and occasionally stay away overnight.
• Good organisational and time-management skills.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
