Job description

As the UK’s leading integrated health and safety experts, Arco combine multi-channel distribution of 170,000+ products with specialist training, consultancy, and site services. Arco’s history spans over 100 years, and following the recent appointment of a new CEO, the business is now transitioning to a high-performance culture, driven by the ambition to grow and become even more sustainable into the future.

With a workforce of circa 1,650 employees, Arco will continue to have at the core of its culture, a clear and pervasive set of values creating a diverse, inclusive workforce.

We’re now looking to recruit an exceptional Warehouse Operative that shares our core values; respect for people, hard work and enterprise, excellence in reputation and making the world a safer place for everyone.

About the role

Arco’s National Distribution Centre (NDC) in Hull dispatches three hundred pallets and 8,000 parcels a day to 25,000 customers in the UK and Ireland. We recently completed an extension to this which supports Arco’s sustainability vision being lit by natural daylight with daylight harvesting LED lights which are activated only when needed. This increased storage and distribution capacity enabled Arco to respond rapidly to the unprecedented demand for PPE during the Covid-19 pandemic, with the business supporting the NHS, frontline responders, and critical industries.

As our Warehouse Operative you will work in a safe and efficient manner, ensure the accurate flow of goods through the Arco NDC, from receiving to despatch, observing Arco’s policies and operational procedures throughout.

Key responsibilities include:


  • Ensuring that customers are given the highest priority and customer service is maintained to the highest standards

  • Ensuring the working environment is kept tidy & presentable for H&S purposes and customer visits

  • Receiving and booking in goods following prescribed procedures, ensuring correct delivery quantities and products

  • Ensuring the accurate put away of product to the correct storage location

  • Picking and packing customer orders following standard procedures in an accurate and timely manner

  • Assisting with the prompt and accurate return of product to vendor

  • Safely operate the required equipment to place stock in the correct storage location, resolving physical and system issues when required

  • Supporting other team members and other areas of the business when required

  • Good numerical skills

  • Manual handling experience

    Experience of working to deadlines and a high level of attention to detail

  • Basic IT Skills

  • An understanding of Health & Safety within the warehouse
