• Using pallet trucks and lifting equipment to safely move stock around the site
• Issuing yarn to weaving and warping departments as required
• Managing the return, weighing and recording of unused yarn
• Maintaining stock accuracy through effective use of company systems
• Supporting safe working practices and continuous improvement initiatives
• Managing first-line people responsibilities including holiday approvals, absence meetings and probation reviews

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively
• A positive attitude with the flexibility to adapt to changing priorities
• A commitment to safe working practices and continuous improvement
• An interest in textiles and manufacturing processes would be advantageous

A Fork Lift Truck licence and textile-related qualifications would be beneficial, but are not essential.
