About the role:

InPost are seeking a dedicated and proactive Sorter Loader Parcel Buster to join our dynamic team in our Sort at our Wednesbury and Hatfield Hubs. This pivotal role keeps the conveyors that carry parcels around the Sort moving, so that customer parcels are sorted, scanned and dispatched quickly and accurately.

As a Parcel Buster, you'll play a key part in the Sort. You'll clear oversized or awkwardly shaped parcels before they cause blockages, and spot and report faults to Engineering before they become downtime. If you enjoy working on your feet in a fast-paced environment, and you're committed to doing it safely and well, this opportunity is perfect for you.

Join us and be part of a company that values teamwork, innovation, and excellence in delivery services.

📍 Location: Wednesbury, Midland Road, WV13 2PZ

📅 Shift Pattern: 5 out of 7 days

🕒 Hours: 09:00 - 17:30 (40 hours)

💰 Salary: £27,510.28 Per Annum

What you'll be doing:

• Keep conveyors free of blockages by identifying and removing oversized or irregularly shaped parcels, working in all areas of the parcel sort centre.

• Monitor the carousels using the control room systems and respond promptly when alerted.

• Safely access belts, and the areas underneath them, to dislodge parcels and restore the flow of the Sort, in line with Health & Safety guidelines.

• Report any faults or issues you notice to Engineering promptly.

• Champion Health & Safety excellence, including safe working on and around conveyors, using the LOTO process and wearing the right PPE when parcel busting.

• Communicate and work closely with colleagues across the Sort, including the control room, Sorter Loaders, Team Leaders and managers, to keep the operation running smoothly at pace.

• Work flexibly to complete Sorter Loader duties, and any other reasonable activities to support the Sort, as directed by management.

What we need from you:

• Previous experience in a warehouse or parcel distribution environment is valued, but it isn't essential. We welcome people who are eager to learn.

• You're comfortable getting onto and under conveyor belts safely, following Health & Safety guidelines.

• You can stay on your feet for long periods and keep up with a fast-paced operation.

• You can work with IT systems that monitor the carousels.

• You're a confident communicator who works well with lots of different people across the Sort.

• You're observant and proactive, with the initiative to spot and report potential faults and to prioritise when several alerts come in at once.

• You're a team player, flexible and adaptable.

• You must have the legal right to work in the UK.
