Market-leading facilities & free parking

We are actively seeking a number of experienced FLT Counterbalance for a busy manufacturing facility in the Tamworth area. This is a long-term opportunity with a forward-thinking process plant which puts worker welfare and engagement at the forefront of its operation. Their list of employee benefits is unrivalled, including staff holidays, private health & dental, and career progression.

This is a very well-established business which produces and distributes materials for the construction and highways industry nationally.

Due to the layout of the shop floor, which can involve narrow aisles and congestion of forklifts in their Goods Out department, it is vital that all applicants have a high degree of confidence on the trucks. As such, we are really looking for an absolute minimum of 18 months active FLT operation experience.

Your main responsibilities are as follows:

- Locating orders using computerised inventory system, and retrieving them using the Counterbalance forklift truck
- If assigned a PPT role, you will be expected to conduct manual picks whilst operating the vehicle safely (certificate would be useful but not essential)
- Maintaining a strong awareness of your surroundings and ensuring H&S is a top priority
- Assisting with manual loading/ offloading duties as required
- General despatch paperwork
- Housekeeping of the shop floor and ensuring walkways are clear of debris 

Fixed PM shift available (14:00–22:00)
Pay rate: £15.60 per hour

All core hours worked will be Monday to Friday.

In return, you can expect to receive fantastic employee benefits, including the opportunity to take part in competitions to win free holidays both in the UK and abroad.

Our client is really seeking strong team-players with a strong ambition to progress within the company, and who take real pride in their own work. As such, all applicants for our Forklift Driver vacancy will be expected to give a good account of themselves in a formal interview setting. This is a job that will span much beyond Christmas, so it is vital that applicants can offer a long term commitment and maintain a spotless timekeeping & attendance record.
