Job Description
Are you a highly motivated and physically capable individual looking for a vital role within a fast-paced logistics environment? Evri, a leader in parcel delivery across the UK, is seeking dedicated Warehouse Loaders to join our bustling Logistics Hub in Beeston, Leeds. This full-time position is crucial to our daily operations, ensuring that countless parcels reach their destinations on time and in perfect condition.
As a Warehouse Loader, you will be at the heart of our parcel processing operation. Your day will involve the efficient loading and unloading of vehicles, sorting parcels into designated areas, and accurately scanning items to maintain our robust tracking system. This role demands a keen eye for detail, a commitment to safety, and the physical stamina to handle parcels of various sizes and weights in a busy, dynamic setting. You’ll be working alongside a supportive team, contributing directly to the seamless flow of goods that underpin the nation’s e-commerce and retail sectors.
We operate 24/7 to meet the demands of our customers, meaning various shifts are available, including days, nights, and weekends, offering flexibility for the right candidate. While previous experience in a warehouse or logistics setting is advantageous, it is not strictly essential; we value a strong work ethic, reliability, and a positive attitude above all else. Comprehensive training will be provided to ensure you are fully equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in this role.
This is more than just a loading job; it’s an opportunity to kickstart or further your career within the rapidly expanding logistics industry. Evri is committed to the development of our employees, offering pathways for progression into supervisory roles, MHE operation, or other specialist areas within our extensive network. If you’re ready to play an integral part in a team that keeps the UK moving, we encourage you to apply and become a key player in our Beeston Logistics Hub.
