Description
Warehouse Senior Operative (FLT Reach / Counterbalance)
Bolton 27,000 – 28,000 + Bonuses Monday–Friday
Due to continued growth, we're looking for a reliable, hard–working Warehouse Senior Operative to join a high–performing goods in/out team at our Bolton Head Office.
This is not a clock–watching warehouse role.
We're looking for someone who takes pride in running a tight operation, keeps standards high and leads from the front on the floor.
The Company
Our client is a market leader in their sector – the number one goods supplier in the UK within their specialist industry. They supply a comprehensive product range to both trade and consumer customers nationwide.
They are growing quickly and need dependable, driven warehouse professionals who want stability, responsibility and progression.
The Role
You'll play a key role in keeping stock moving efficiently and safely through the warehouse. This is a hands–on position where standards, pace and accuracy matter.
Your responsibilities will include:
Goods in and goods out operations
Picking, packing and dispatch
Safe and efficient stock movement
Operating FLT Reach (Counterbalance where required)
Taking ownership of Goods In processes
Maintaining high Health & Safety standards
Hitting and exceeding daily KPIs
Supporting the wider warehouse team to deliver results
We're looking for someone who doesn't just "do the job" – but sets the standard.
What We're Looking For
Minimum 2 years' experience in a fast–paced warehouse (Goods In preferred)
Valid FLT Reach licence (Counterbalance advantageous) or open to taking a fully funded FLT course.
Strong work ethic and reliability
Physically fit and comfortable being on your feet all shift
Confident with IT systems (email, Excel, warehouse/CRM systems)
Proven track record of hitting KPIs
Good communication skills and team mindset
Driving licence preferred
You'll suit this role if you:
Take pride in running an organised warehouse area
Stay calm under pressure
Like structure and routine
Want long–term career stability
What's On Offer
27,000 – 28,000 DOE
Ad hoc performance bonuses
20 days holiday + Bank Holidays
Monday–Friday (8:30–5:30 or 6:30–3:30)
Genuine career progression opportunities
This is a full–time, long–term career opportunity for someone who wants to be part of a serious operation, not just another warehouse job.
