Across the day
- Receiving and checking deliveries against documentation
- Picking, packing and dispatching orders to deadlines
- Operating forklifts or order-picking equipment where licensed
- Using a warehouse management system to track stock
- Stocktaking, replenishment and keeping the area clean and safe
