Are you a hardworking team player who thrives in a fast-paced warehouse environment? Do you have a strong eye for detail and take pride in working safely, accurately and efficiently?

Bullet Express is looking for an experienced Warehouse / Forklift Operator to join our busy PM team at our Bothwell site.

This is a key role within our operation. The PM shift is responsible for processing, sorting and preparing freight for onward movement, and we are looking for someone who understands that Health & Safety, attention to detail and teamwork are essential in keeping the operation running smoothly.

Why Join Bullet Express?

At Bullet Express, you're more than just part of the workforce - you're an important part of the team.

You'll work alongside experienced colleagues and managers, playing a vital role in ensuring freight is handled safely, accurately and efficiently while helping us keep freight moving across the UK and Europe.

What You'll Be Doing

Your responsibilities will include:

• Loading and unloading lorries safely and efficiently.
• Moving and stacking pallets and freight using a forklift and other warehouse equipment.

Working safely is not optional. You will be expected to follow all site procedures, operate forklifts and warehouse equipment responsibly and remain aware of colleagues, vehicles and other activity around you at all times.

You must be confident reporting hazards, damaged equipment, unsafe practices or anything else that could compromise the safety of yourself or others.

Attention to Detail

Accuracy is extremely important within our PM warehouse operation.

Freight must be scanned, checked, sorted and loaded correctly. Small mistakes can result in freight being misrouted, delayed or loaded onto the wrong trunk or vehicle.

We are therefore looking for someone who takes pride in getting things right first time and understands the importance of carrying out checks thoroughly, even when working under pressure.
