What you’ll become part of

At CCEP Wakefield, you'll join one of the most advanced and high-volume manufacturing and logistics operations in Europe. Home to one of our largest soft drinks production facilities and a 24/7 distribution centre, Wakefield plays a vital role in keeping some of the nation's favourite brands moving to customers across the country.

This is a business built on teamwork, continuous improvement and investing in people. Whether you're bringing warehouse experience or looking for a fresh challenge, you'll receive comprehensive training, ongoing support and the opportunity to develop a rewarding long-term career.

You'll become part of a collaborative team where safety, quality and performance are at the heart of everything we do, and where everyone has a role to play in our success.

What to expect

As a Warehouse Technician Operative, you'll join either our Goods In (Manufacturing) team or our Distribution team. While these opportunities are being recruited through a single campaign, successful candidates will be appointed into one specific operational area, supporting the safe and efficient movement of materials and products throughout the site.

Key responsibilities may include:

• Operating forklift trucks and warehouse equipment safely (full training provided)
• Receiving, unloading, storing and organising materials or finished products
• Preparing products and orders for dispatch
• Using SAP and warehouse management systems to manage stock movements and inventory accuracy
• Loading, stacking and storing goods across a variety of warehouse locations and storage systems
• Supporting stock control, traceability and vehicle movements across site
• Carrying out quality checks and maintaining excellent housekeeping standards
• Contributing to a safe, organised and high-performing working environment

As your knowledge and confidence grow, you'll deepen your expertise within your assigned area while building valuable warehouse and logistics skills that can support future development opportunities across the wider business.

Skills and essentials

We're interested in people with the right attitude, work ethic and willingness to learn. Previous warehouse, logistics or manufacturing experience can be beneficial, but it isn't essential.

We're particularly looking for individuals who:

• Put safety first and take pride in doing things the right way
• Demonstrate reliability, accountability and a strong work ethic
• Work well as part of a team and communicate effectively with others
• Are comfortable following processes and using operational systems
• Have good attention to detail and can maintain high standards of accuracy
• Enjoy learning new skills and adapting to different tasks
• Can work a rotating shift pattern, including days, nights and weekends as part of the continental shift structure

In return, you'll receive extensive training, development opportunities and the chance to build a career with one of the world's leading beverage manufacturers.

Proactive Hiring Approach

In addition to our current vacancies, we're also planning ahead for future recruitment requirements.

Candidates who successfully achieve the required benchmark at our assessment centre may be considered for an available position immediately or retained within our talent pool for future opportunities. This allows us to contact successful candidates when suitable vacancies arise, without requiring a further application or additional assessment process.

This approach helps us create opportunities more quickly when positions become available and enables candidates to remain connected with future career opportunities at Wakefield.
