Key Responsibilities

As a Warehouse Operative in Manchester Airport M90, you will support the daily movement of goods and help keep the warehouse safe, organised, and efficient. The exact duties may vary depending on the site, shift, and client, but most candidates can expect a mix of physical, administrative, and team-based tasks.

• Receive, unload, inspect, and record incoming deliveries accurately.
• Pick customer orders using handheld scanners, pick lists, or warehouse management systems.
• Pack, label, and prepare goods for dispatch while meeting quality and safety standards.
• Move stock safely between storage areas, loading bays, and production zones.
• Carry out stock checks, cycle counts, and simple inventory reconciliation.
• Maintain a clean, tidy, and hazard-free working environment in line with health and safety rules.
• Report damaged goods, missing stock, equipment faults, or unsafe conditions immediately.
• Work with supervisors, drivers, and colleagues to meet shift targets and service deadlines.

Candidates who have experience in pickers and packers roles will recognise many of these tasks. The role is not only about speed; it is about accuracy, reliability, and working as part of a structured team. If you enjoy a busy environment where you can see the results of your work, this job can be very satisfying.

Requirements

You do not need to be an experienced logistics professional to apply. We are looking for a practical, dependable person who can follow instructions, stay safe, and contribute to a productive warehouse team. Training may be provided on site, but the basics below are important.

• Reliable attendance and a positive, safety-first attitude.
• Ability to work in a physically active role that may involve lifting, standing, walking, and bending.
• Willingness to learn scanning, packing, stock, and warehouse systems.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team.
• Basic numeracy and literacy for order checking, stock counts, and paperwork.
• Right to work in the UK and valid identification for onboarding checks.
• Previous warehouse, factory, production, retail distribution, or logistics experience is useful but not always essential.
• Availability for day, afternoon, night, weekend, or rotating shifts depending on the client rota.

If you have transferable experience, that can also be valuable. For example, candidates who have worked as a Grounds Maintenance Operative often understand physical outdoor work, safety, and reliability. Candidates with experience as a Temp Receptionist / Front Of House may bring excellent communication, organisation, and customer awareness. If you are an Air Conditioning / Refrigeration Engineer, your technical knowledge can be useful in cold storage, maintenance-adjacent warehouse environments, or facilities-focused logistics sites. Staffing Agency can help match those skills to suitable roles in Manchester Airport M90 and nearby areas.

This Warehouse Operative placement in Manchester Airport M90 offers competitive pay based on experience, shift pattern, and client requirements.

Manchester Airport M90 is one of the most active operational hubs in the North West. The area supports transport, distribution, hospitality, facilities, engineering, and supply chain work.
