About the Role
Castrol Classic Oils is a specialist business supplying automotive oils, products and merchandise through a network of distributors, resellers, and international partners.
We're an established but growing small business, with a hands-on team where people know each other, take responsibility for their work and work together to get things done.
We're looking for a reliable and practical Warehouse Operative to join the team. The warehouse is an important part of the business, and this role offers the opportunity to become a valued member of the team rather than simply being one person in a large warehouse operation. We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work, has good practical common sense and enjoys working as part of a close-knit team.
Reporting to the Operations Manager, you will be responsible for receiving, storing, picking and dispatching stock, while helping to maintain an organised, safe and efficient warehouse.
This is a hands-on role in a busy, growing business. You will work closely with Operations and Internal Sales to ensure customer orders are prepared accurately and leave the warehouse on time.
We are looking for someone with good practical common sense who takes pride in doing things properly, works well as part of a team and is happy to get stuck in wherever needed.

- Comfortable working with physical stock and carrying out manual handling.
- A good team player who is happy to support colleagues when required.
- Confident following processes and recording information accurately.
