Pay Rate: £14.00/hr

About the Role
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established industrial employer based at Avonmouth Docks. We are looking for a motivated individual — ideally with a valid FLT Counterbalance licence (RTITB or ITSARR) — to join the team. This is a temp-to-perm position, with the opportunity to transition to a permanent contract after a successful probation period.

You will be doing a mixture of forklift driving and manual handling / warehouse duties. The role is physically demanding: you will be regularly lifting bags of cement (up to 25 kg) and moving stock around the yard, but you will also be operating a counterbalance forklift when needed.

Key Duties & Responsibilities

• Safely operate a counterbalance forklift to move, load, and store bags of cement, bulk bags or palletised goods.
• Load and unload deliveries; transfer bags from delivery vehicles or storage areas to the appropriate site locations (e.g. hoppers, silos, pallets).
• Handle manual lifting tasks — regularly move bags of cement (~25 kg) by hand when not using the FLT.
• Assist with general warehouse / production duties as required: stacking, palletising, bagging, preparing orders for dispatch/export, ensuring goods are labelled / stored correctly.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organised working area. Follow health & safety guidelines at all times — including proper manual handling procedures and safe FLT operation.
• Assist with stock control, inventory checks, and supporting general site operations when required.

Requirements

• Valid FLT Counterbalance licence (RTITB or ITSARR accreditation essential).
• Physically fit and able to repeatedly lift up to 25 kg.
• Previous warehouse, manufacturing, or industrial experience preferred.
• A strong safety-conscious attitude and willingness to follow procedures.
• Good teamwork and reliability — able to support forklift and manual handling duties as required.

What’s On Offer

• £14.00 per hour, paid weekly.
• Regular weekday hours (08:30–17:00, Monday–Friday)
• Temp-to-perm opportunity.
• Hands-on, active role
