** Howarth Timber Group is proud to have been officially recognised in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026! **

Join our team as a Yard Operative/Picker at Burnley

We’re looking for a practical, reliable Yard Operative/Picker to support our first fix and second fix operations at Burnley. This is a hands-on role working mainly behind the scenes, where accuracy, attention to detail and a strong work ethic are key. If you enjoy keeping things organised, take pride in getting orders picked correctly and efficiently, and want to be part of a supportive team, we’d be delighted to hear from you!

Putting people at the heart of what we do

With more than 185 years’ trading experience, the Howarth Timber Group has grown to provide not only the widest range of products, but expertise, service and knowledge you can rely on.

With a nationwide network of branches supplying timber, building and plumbing and heating materials, kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms and a dedicated manufacturing division supplying timber engineering services, the Howarth Timber Group is focused on providing market leading choice, quality, service and value.

Built on a passion for service and people, we strive to set the highest standards in the quality of our products, in the continuity of supply and in every aspect of customer service and support. Quality products and processes are what drive our passion, but people are central to everything we do and it’s thanks to our loyal workforce that we’ve built a strong and successful business.

What does it mean to be a Howarth Timber & Building Supplies Limited Yard Operative/Picker?

5. Occasionally supporting the wider Yard team during busy periods, which may include checking customer vehicles before they leave site to help minimise stock losses and helping with queries from commercial customers or members of the public in a helpful and professional manner

Previous warehouse and customer service experience.
FLT licence desirable.
Full manual driving licence.
An enthusiastic, approachable and motivated individual with a proactive, can-do attitude.
