This role is not working in a warehouse on an assembly line; we work in partnership with a well-known global furniture brand retailer delivering their purchases and are looking for people who are confident in dealing with customers and who prefer an active role!

Heavy lifting, handling and carrying of products is part of this role and you will have to support loading vehicles as and when needed.

With the customer at the heart of all we do, you will ensure that exceptional customer service is delivered at every stage.

About the role:

This role requires a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and the ability to work well with others in a fast-paced environment.

As the Team Leader, you will assist the site management team in overseeing delivery and warehouse operations, ensuring efficient and effective processes. This role requires attention to detail, and the ability to motivate a team.

Working in our Warehouse you will receive the in-bound items from our clients and make sure that missing or damaged items are reported to management to avoid customer disappointment. You will be responsible for scanning these items into our stock management system and assisting the drivers with loading their vehicles.

There may be times where we need you to support the delivery team out on the road.

This role would be ideal for someone who wants to progress into management but needs an opportunity to gain experience in order to develop before moving into a more senior role.

We are always keen to develop and promote our staff when opportunities come along, so if you are interested in being able to grow your career options, please apply!

About You:

• Common sense and a can do attitude
• Experience of planning routes (HDX, Paragon or similar)
• Good level of IT proficiency
• Proactive approach to problem solving
• Reasonable knowledge of road safety regulations and best practices
• Confident with dealing with customer queries.
• Good time management
• Excellent communication skills

A driving licence is not required for this role but if you do have one, then we may, when needed require you to drive on behalf of the business. So, we will need you to submit or share a Driving Licence Check. Interviews will be conducted by the Site Operations Manager, and will include general questions about your experience, some competency and scenario questions and time with your potential new team.

About Us:

We have operated in the UK for over 20 years and our management team all have first-hand experience in all of the delivery roles in our business, so no one will be asking something of you that they won’t have done themselves.
