Barco Sales is a leading plumbing and heating distributor with more than 40 years’ experience. We are looking for a Warehouse Operative to join our friendly Operations Team at our headquarters in central Welwyn Garden City.

This is a hands on role where you will help make sure customer orders are picked accurately, packed securely and loaded ready for delivery. You will be working as part of a supportive team, so reliability, good timekeeping and a positive attitude are just as important as previous warehouse experience.

You will need to be comfortable lifting packages weighing up to 25kg and working carefully in a busy warehouse environment.

• £28,300 per annum
• Annual bonus based on company and individual performance
• Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5.45pm
• No weekends or bank holiday working
• 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays after probation
• Life insurance at three times your salary
• Wellbeing support, including 24 hour counselling and private GP access

• Following health and safety procedures at all times
• Keeping the warehouse clean, tidy and well organised
• Working closely with colleagues to ensure orders are prepared accurately and on time

What we’re looking for

The most important thing is your attitude. You do not need to have extensive warehouse experience, as full training will be provided. We are looking for someone who is dependable, willing to learn and takes pride in doing a job properly.

You will be:

• Reliable and punctual, with a strong work ethic
• A hardworking team player who is happy to get involved
• Careful and accurate when picking and checking orders

• Able to follow instructions and work safely

• Comfortable using basic computer systems
• Able to communicate clearly in verbal and written English
