Warehouse Operative — Dispatch Team

We are seeking a reliable, detail-oriented Warehouse Operative to join our dedicated hire operations team. In this role, you will play a key part in preparing hire equipment for dispatch — ensuring everything is clean, complete, safe, and ready to reach our customers.

What You’ll Do

Prepare hire items for dispatch by checking their condition, cleanliness, and functionality.
Fit necessary accessories and components to main units according to job or customer specifications.
Assemble part-build kits when required — verifying all components are included and properly secured.
Pick and pack hire orders accurately, based on dispatch notes or system-generated lists.
Perform quality checks on all outgoing items to ensure they meet safety, cleanliness, and operational standards.
Work closely with the hire desk, drivers, and other warehouse colleagues to coordinate timely and accurate dispatch.
Label equipment and complete all required paperwork or system entries.
Maintain a tidy, organised, and safe working area at all times.
Adhere to all health & safety procedures and contribute to a positive safety culture.
Assist with general warehouse tasks such as goods-in, stock rotation, and other duties as required.

What We’re Looking For

Previous experience working in a warehouse environment is essential.
Supervisory or team-lead experience is a plus (but not required).
Forklift truck licence is advantageous — though full training will be provided.
Experience or qualification in warehouse operations, supply-chain, or logistics (e.g. IOSCM) is welcome but not mandatory.
Good communication skills — able to liaise with other departments and colleagues via email, calls or Teams.
Excellent organisational skills with the ability to prioritise workloads to meet dispatch deadlines.
A strong eye for detail, high standards of accuracy, and a commitment to safety.
