What you’ll do

As a Warehouse Operative you’ll play a key role in making sure our shops get all of the items they have ordered so that they can give our loyal Greggs customers a great customer service.

You’ll be handling boxes, picking products and packing, pushing and pulling cages around the warehouse. You’ll work with the best systems to make sure each order is accurate but you’ll still need a good eye for detail.

We definitely don’t want any soggy sausage rolls so you’ll need to make sure our trucks are at the right temperature ready to load and products are loaded in to the correct compartment for ambient, chill or frozen.

You’ll work as part of a great team to so all of this hard work helps our Drivers to maximise as much delivery time as they can.
