As a Logistics Operator, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of our logistics processes, including receiving and inspecting goods, storing and picking stock, kitting and feeding production cells, and packing and dispatching finished aircraft and spares.

Key Responsibilities:

• Carry out cycle counts and stock checks, and keep stock locations and system records accurate and tidy.
• Prepare and issue kits to the electronics, integration and other production cells against the build schedule.

• Inspect outgoing shipments against the order to confirm accuracy before they leave site.

• Work to all health, safety and security procedures, and handle goods correctly and securely at all times.
• Keep the warehouse, stores and dispatch areas clean, organised and audit-ready (5S).
• Support continuous improvement of logistics processes and ways of working.

Essential Skills:

• Experience in a logistics, warehouse, stores, goods-in or shipping/receiving role, ideally in a manufacturing or engineering environment.
• Good working knowledge of goods-in, stores, dispatch and shipping/receiving procedures and documentation.
• Confident using inventory / warehouse management or ERP systems and handheld scanners to keep records accurate.
• Accurate and detail-focused in handling both goods and data.
• Well organised, with good time management and the ability to prioritise in a busy operation.
• A reliable team player with a safety-first mindset and a good standard of written and spoken English.
• Eligible for UK SC clearance. Must be eligible for BPSS from day one.

Desirable:

• Valid counterbalance / reach forklift licence, or other powered industrial truck authorisation.
