Summary
Job Advert
Move stock. Support customers. Power the yard.
We’re looking for an experienced Forklift Truck Driver to join the friendly, hardworking yard team at our flagship Park Royal
branch.
This is a fast-paced, hands-on role where you’ll be right at the heart of a busy builders’ merchant operation.
You’ll play a key role in keeping the depot running smoothly — picking loads, loading and unloading vehicles, supporting customers
and suppliers, and helping maintain a safe, well-organised yard. If you take pride in doing things properly and enjoy being part
of a team that keeps the wheels turning, this is a great opportunity to join a growing business where your contribution really
counts.
What you’ll be doing
* Operating a forklift safely to pick, load and unload vehicles
* Assisting customers, suppliers and drivers arriving on site
* Keeping the yard clean, organised and well presented
* Managing stock rotation and highlighting any shortages or issues
* Carrying out daily checks on plant and machinery
* Reporting any defects or safety concerns promptly
* Working closely with the yard team to ensure a smooth, efficient operation
If you’re looking for a busy, physical role in a flagship branch where teamwork matters and no two days are the same, we’d love to
hear from you.
Hours: 7am-5pm Mon-Fri, 7am-12pm alternate Saturdays
Holiday: 23 days per year plus Bank Holidays
Salary: £30,159 per annum
Benefits: Discretionary bonus scheme
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
* Valid forklift licence and hands-on operating experience
* Previous experience in a builders’ merchant environment
* Comfortable with heavy lifting and working outdoors
* A strong understanding of health & safety
* Good communication and organisational skills
* A reliable, safety-focused and “get stuck in” attitude
* Ability to work independently and as part of a team
* Eligible to work in the UK
Join our Park Royal team and help keep London building.
