Day-to-Day Responsibilities
In this job, daily tasks include washing equipment ready for hire and organising the warehouse for efficient operation. You’ll help customers and drivers load or unload vehicles.
Security and maintaining equipment standards are important parts of your duty. You’ll need to report any damaged or misused gear promptly to your line manager.

Cons of the Role
The work is physically demanding, with manual handling and potential exposure to outdoor conditions throughout the week. Routine cleaning and loading tasks may become repetitive.
Also, as the job requires a full UK manual licence, those without one aren’t eligible. Peak seasons could mean higher workloads and busier shifts.
