The Company
Macfarlane Group PLC is the UK’s largest packaging distributor and we are seeking to urgently recruit an experienced Warehouse Operative to join our established logistics team based at our newly relocated National Distribution Centre in Bristol. As a business, we are passionate about providing fully integrated and innovative packaging solutions augmented by outstanding customer service. As a Group we are continuing to grow significantly and always keen to attract talented new individuals to our business.

The Warehouse Operative Role
Working at our Bristol based National Distribution Centre, you shall play a key role in ensuring that customer orders are fulfilled accurately and on time. Undertaking a range of warehouse related duties encompassing both goods ‘in’ and ‘out’, you will be expected to maintain close working ties with all areas of the site including the sales and purchasing teams.

Warehouse Operative Key Responsibilities
  • Accept deliveries from suppliers, ensuring goods are stored in the appropriate location.
  • Pick, load and despatch goods to the customer base in a timely manner
  • Receive and process customer or supplier returns
  • Participate in stock counts, when necessary.
  • Maintain high standards of customer service at all times to suppliers and customers.
  • Work in partnership with the Sales office to ensure customer delivery dates/times are achieved.
  • Work in a constructive manner and promote co-operation between departments and RDCs across the group.

Ideally, we are seeking applications from individuals who have credible warehouse environment experience. It is important that you live locally (or within a sensible daily commute to our site in the Patchway area of Bristol). You will be a true team-player with a flexible and positive work attitude and strong communication skills. It’s important that you are ‘health & safety aware’ whilst having enjoyed balanced exposure to goods ‘in’ and ‘out’. Some experience of driving Forklift trucks (you will ideally have both reach & counterbalance licences) would be advantageous or if in the absence of this, willingness to undertake a training course in line with signed training agreement.
