Warehouse Worker

You pick orders from pallet racking with a hand scanner, check the article number and the quantity against the picking list, and build the pallet so that heavy cartons sit at the bottom. Finished pallets are wrapped, labelled and moved to the dispatch lane by gate number. Damaged stock goes on a separate pallet and is reported to the shift leader before loading begins. Two shifts rotate weekly, 07:00-15:30 and 15:00-23:30, and the evening shift carries a supplement paid on top of the basic rate.
