Job Summary

We are looking for a motivated and hands-on Junior Warehouse Employee to join our team. This is an entry-level role designed for young candidates with little to no professional experience who are eager to build a career in warehouse operations and parts management.

You will start with practical warehouse tasks – loading/unloading, order picking, PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) support, and basic inventory control – and gradually grow into a more skilled role. Depending on your strengths and interests, you can develop towards warehouse operations & equipment handling (forklift, machine handling, logistics flow) or parts management support (systems, inventory control, parts administration).

For the right candidate – someone reliable, hands-on, and willing to learn – we provide internal training and a long-term career perspective.

Key Responsibilities

Phase 1 – Foundation (e.g. first 1-3months):

• Assist with loading and unloading of goods, parts, and finished machines.
• Support PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) – checking machines and parts for completeness, damage, and proper condition.
• Perform core warehouse duties: order picking, packing, shelving, and keeping the warehouse clean and organised.
• Learn to use the company system for basic booking in/out of inventory.
• Follow all safety procedures and maintain a safe working environment.

Phase 2 – Development (3+ months, based on performance and interest):

• Take on more responsibility in warehouse operations – coordinate daily workflow coordination, optimise storage, support shipping/receiving.
• Or shift focus towards parts management support – inventory counting, system data entry, parts identification, and stock accuracy.
• Gradually prepare for a specialised role based on the chosen development track.

Career Development Path – Two Tracks

Track 1 – Warehouse Operations & Equipment:

Focus: Loading/unloading, PDI, forklift, machine handling, workflow coordination, team coordination

Progression: Junior Warehouse Employee → Warehouse Assistant → Warehouse Operator → Senior Warehouse Operator

Track 2 – Parts Management Support:

Focus: Inventory systems, data entry, parts identification, stock control, administration

Progression: Junior Warehouse Employee→ Parts Assistant → Parts Administrator → Senior Parts Coordinator

We will work with you to identify the right fit based on your performance, skills, and career aspirations.
