The Role

We are seeking a reliable and physically fit Warehouse Operative to join a specialist manufacturing and distribution team based in Northampton. This is a temp-to-perm opportunity, meaning we are looking for someone who wants to grow with the company and eventually transition into a permanent member of the team.

• Inventory Control: Using computer systems to book deliveries in and out.

• Precision Labelling: Creating and printing shipping labels. High attention to detail is required to ensure product codes match order specifications exactly.

• Site Visits: Once fully trained, there is the opportunity to travel to client sites to assist with filter installations or assessments.

• Drivers Mate: Be available to jump in as a Driver’s Mate on an ad-hoc basis, ensuring safe transit and efficient unloading during peak periods or special assignments.

• Customer Service: Assist within the office when required, speaking with existing and potential customers regarding their orders/requirements, in a professional and courteous manner, via email and telephone.

• Physical Fitness: This is a repetitive, manual role that involves standing for long periods and heavy lifting.

• Technical Accuracy: You must be highly confident using a tape measure and working with precise dimensions.

• IT Literate: Comfortable using computers for data entry and label printing.

• Personable: A friendly, customer-focused individual, with a polite telephone manner.

• Driver’s License: You will need to have a full UK driving license and your own transport.

• Competitive pay from day one, with a guaranteed salary uplift when you move into a permanent role

• 28 days holiday (20 days annual leave 8 bank holidays)

• Monday–Friday schedule – enjoy your weekends free

• Flexible working hours – we work on a “give and take” approach. During busy periods the team may stay an extra hour, but quieter days often mean early finishes

• Real career progression – develop your skills and move into new roles as you grow, with clear pathways and support to advance within the business
