Accurately book equipment in and out, ensuring all related paperwork is processed in a timely manner.

Perform checks on plant and equipment to ensure compliance with regulations (e.g., LOLER, PUWER).

Assist with goods receipt, dispatch, and maintaining an organised storage area.

Provide professional and efficient customer service (customer interaction is currently minimal, but any relevant experience is welcome).

Experience with overhead line equipment (particularly desirable but niche).

Forklift or telehandler operator's certificate (training provided).

Experience with lifting equipment (e.g., Pullifts, Tirfors) and basic hydraulics maintenance.

LEEA Part 1 & 2 certification (highly desirable, as it enables potential progression to an inspector role).

Experience working in a stores environment with booking in/out goods and materials.

Previous general assembly, machine minding, or semi-skilled manufacturing experience will be considered highly transferable.

What We Offer:

Competitive salary and benefits package.

Potential to progress within the company, especially if you hold LEEA competencies (higher salary and inspector role potential).
