Warehouse Operative - Twilight Shift

Role overview

Italicatessen Ltd is hiring a full-time, permanent Warehouse Operative for its twilight shift in Newtownmountkennedy, County Wicklow. The position runs from 3:30pm to 12:00am and includes some weekend work on a rotating schedule.

The warehouse supports the company’s distribution of Italian food products across Ireland, serving restaurants, delis, retailers, and food enthusiasts. The work covers chilled, ambient, and frozen items, so accuracy, organisation, and care are essential.

Important eligibility notes

Applicants must already have permission to work in Ireland. Because of the shift hours, candidates also need their own transport or must live locally, as public transport will not cover the required times.

Key duties

• Pick, pack, and get customer orders ready for dispatch.
• Accept incoming deliveries from Italy and other suppliers, checking them carefully.
• Put stock away in the correct locations while following rotation rules and food safety standards.
• Complete stock checks and keep inventory records up to date.
• Help keep the warehouse tidy, safe, and well organised.
• Support the team with other general warehouse tasks when needed.

Candidate profile

The employer is looking for someone dependable with a strong work ethic and a practical, positive approach. Previous experience in warehousing or logistics is preferred but not required. Good spoken English is important, as is the ability to work both on your own and with others.

A manual handling certificate is an advantage and can be provided if necessary. Forklift, pallet truck, and PPT licences are useful but not essential.

Pay and benefits

The role pays up to €15 per hour, and some hours on the shift are paid at a premium rate. Additional benefits include holiday entitlements, staff discount on a range of premium Italian products, career growth opportunities, a supportive workplace, and on-the-job training and development.
