• No Weekends: Enjoy your full weekends completely free.
• Contract: Permanent, full-time contract from day one.
• Progression: Structured training and clear pathways to step up into senior operations management.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead, motivate, and develop a shift of 30–38 Warehouse Operatives and MHE/Forklift drivers to safely hit daily performance KPIs.
