Warehouse Staff Stoke-on-Trent, England
Job description
Warehouse Operative
If our goods aren’t getting where they need to be, we’re not operating – it’s as simple as that. Due to our continuous growth, we’re looking for a reliable Warehouse Operative, with FLT/Counterbalance to join our team.
We’re helping to revolutionise energy consumption as we know it – no mean feat in a cost-of-living crisis! Our continued success relies on hardworking individuals like you to keep our sites functioning, our stock moving and our customers happy.
Unlike most warehousing positions though, in return for your effort and commitment we can offer you work-life friendly hours (Monday – Friday 9am – 5pm), fulfilling work and access to our generous bonuses.
Who are we?
GivEnergy is a manufacturer of electronic equipment designed to manage energy use and production. We specialise in our range of inverters and battery systems which allow our users to store their renewable/cheap-rate energy, ease pressure on the grid and save some serious money. Last year we diversified into the smart plug arena (providing our end-users with real-time data and autonomy of energy usage) and we have plans to roll-out our very own electric vehicle charger and all-in-one system over the next year. On top of all this, GivEnergy Europe was formed at the end of 2022 and we’re excited to continue our success across the pond!
TL;DR: GivEnergy is one of the UK’s largest domestic and commercial battery manufacturers. The industry is booming and there couldn’t be a better time join the renewable industry.
What you’ll be doing:
You’ll be part of a team that is responsible for ensuring all our stock is received and distributed safely, quickly and logically. Day to day, you can expect to be:
- First and foremost, ensuring health and safety is the priority for all activities undertaken.

- Ensuring any on-site stock is stored safely in an organised manner.

- Grade C/Grade 4 or above GCSE grade in English/Maths
- English language skills
- Counter Balance Fork Lift Truck License with relevant 5 year refresher training
- Experience in a small to medium warehouse environment across all activities and Goods Inwards/Goods Outwards
