Supply Chain Warehouse Operatives are found in the Logistics, Retail, Manufacturing, Automotive, Construction, Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Sectors.
Most warehouses will have different types of Mechanical Handling Equipment to move products into and out of the warehouse and internally into and out of specific storage locations.
Most warehouses are likely to have a computerised Warehouse Management System to manage the movements into and out of the warehouse, to maintain stock records and to process customer orders. On board or hand held scanners, linked to the system, may be used to identify products and locations.
The broad purpose of the occupation is to handle goods safely in and out of the storage facility. This will involve the unloading of goods from lorries, trains, ships or planes, the identification and checking of the product and then putting it away in a storage location.
Operatives will pick products from storage locations to satisfy customer orders. Some products may require repackaging prior to assembly for despatch. All orders will be checked and loaded on to the relevant form of transport allocated for delivery.
Warehouse Operatives will typically work in large buildings and often have a shift working pattern in order to provide a twenty four hour operation.

It's great to read about a college and what it has to offer, but there's really no substitute for experiencing it at an open day.
We are in the process of organising our next open days, tickets will be available nearer to the date.
