About the role

Every piece of RVT equipment that goes back out to a client site starts its journey in goods-in.

What you’ll do

  • Receive and book in equipment returning from client sites, checking it against delivery paperwork and our system
  • Inspect every item for damage, knocks, nicks and missing parts; photograph, tag and record what you find so the workshop knows exactly what needs attention

  • Follow our asbestos, COSHH and decontamination procedures, wearing the correct PPE and RPE every time
  • Hand clean equipment over to the workshop team with clear notes
  • Move equipment safely around the yard and warehouse (forklift training provided)

  • A safety-first attitude and happy to follow procedures to the letter
  • Comfortable with physical, wet and dusty work, indoors and outdoors in all weathers
  • Reliable timekeeping for a 7:30am start, five days a week on site in Sheffield
