About the role
Blackgrange is a key site within the Scotch spirit supply chain. The site consists of warehousing, disgorging for malt and grain spirits.

- This role will typically entail physical manual handling activities, the wearing of personal protective equipment, frequent bending, twisting, turning, stooping, with some over-reaching and standing for long periods of time.

What you'll bring
- We're looking for someone who can work well within a team as well as the ability to make effective decisions and thrive in situations where they can solve problems.
- The most important attribute will be to have the right behavioural skills, which demonstrate a "Can Do" attitude and an ability to challenge appropriately as well as a proactive and committed approach to continual self-development and learning.
