Duel role split between Palletising and Warehouse Operations.As a Palletiser i unload truckloads of goods, to ensuring pallets and crates are managed efficiently, the role of a Palletiser is hands on, physical, and fast paced. I have experience operating warehouse machinery, enjoy working in a close-knit team environment and thrive in a logistics operation that strives to achieve goals. It’s always busy, but on some days there’s really a lot of pressure to return and sort pallets. On the operations side it is a fast-paced Warehouse environment and we select products accurately, safely and efficiently for delivery to their stores. Good reading and numerical skills are a must. It’s physical work with long hours and can be tiring. But it’s also great exercise. There’s great camaraderie and we are all working towards the same goals- to meet deadlines and challenging targets. Our Warehouse and Logistics team is close knit, so there’s always someone who has your back. When you have that support network, the satisfaction of getting the job done after a hard day’s work is that much sweeter.The role challenges: Physically demandingFast pacedEarly morning startsHard workRegimented processIf anyone ever asks you what the opposite of a cushy desk job is, tell them it’s the job of a palletiser - lifting stock and handling pallets and crates all day is about as hands-on and physically demanding as it gets. There’s also the added pressure of dealing with returns, sorting through stock, and servicing an ever-growing store network. I deal in repetitive work in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment as a Palletiser. With an ever expanding store network, the work of a Warehouse Operator is never done. To be successful, you need to be quick and efficient to meet high pressure targets and deadlines.
