About the Role

Westray Recruitment is recruiting experienced FLT Operatives to join a busy warehouse and logistics operation in Billingham.

These temporary-to-permanent opportunities require candidates with a valid, externally accredited Counterbalance FLT licence. Successful candidates will support warehouse operations through the safe movement of stock, loading and unloading, pallet handling, order preparation and general operational duties.

Depending on the department and shift pattern, the work may range from straightforward FLT and handheld-scanner duties to more physically demanding tasks involving manual handling and the operation of specialist machinery.

The employer places considerable importance on training, experience, safety and staff retention. All applicants will attend a meet-and-greet interview before starting, and full, honest CVs are required.
