We are looking for an experienced FLT Driver to join our busy manufacturing operation.
The main focus of this position will be MHE and forklift operation, particularly operating a Combi Forklift to safely move, handle and position materials and products around the site.
Previous Combi Forklift experience is not essential, as training can be provided. However, candidates must have recent experience operating either a Reach Truck or Counterbalance Forklift within the last 2 years and be confident working with MHE in a busy industrial environment.
This is a hands-on role suited to someone who is safety-conscious, reliable and comfortable operating forklift equipment as a key part of their working day.
Key Responsibilities
Operating a Combi Forklift safely and efficiently following training
Moving and positioning materials and finished products around the site
Loading, unloading and supporting the movement of stock where required
Carrying out daily equipment and safety checks
Ensuring materials are stored and handled safely
Supporting production and despatch teams with material movements
Maintaining a clean, organised and safe working environment
Following all site Health & Safety procedures
Working closely with colleagues to ensure production requirements and deadlines are supported
Experience Required
Recent Reach Truck or Counterbalance FLT experience – candidates must have driven within the last 2 years
Previous experience working within a warehouse, manufacturing or production environment
Confident and safety-conscious approach to operating MHE
Good communication skills
Reliable with strong attendance and punctuality
Able to work independently and as part of a team
Previous Combi Forklift experience would be advantageous but is not essential, as training can be provided
Progression Opportunity
Although this is primarily an FLT Driver/MHE position, we are interested in candidates who may have the potential to develop further.
For the right person, there may be an opportunity to progress into a supervisory or team leadership position in the future. Previous supervisory experience would therefore be advantageous, but is not essential for this role.
What We Offer
£15.00 per hour
Combi Forklift training for suitable candidates
Opportunity to develop additional MHE skills
Potential progression into a supervisory position
Opportunity for the role to become permanent
Long-term opportunity within a busy manufacturing environment
