Goods-In Operative - Equipment Returns & Wash Bay

RVT Group
Sheffield, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom Posted Oct 26, 2026
Full-time

About this role

About the role

Every piece of RVT equipment that goes back out to a client site starts its journey in goods-in. When kit comes back from construction and industrial sites, you’ll be the person who checks it in, cleans it down and makes sure our workshop team receives it in a safe, ready-to-work condition. It’s a hands-on role that keeps our yard, wash bay and workshop clean, safe and running smoothly.

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
  • Decontaminate and pressure-wash returned kit, removing dust, concrete and slurry
  • 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)
  • Keep the wash bay, goods-in area and yard clean, tidy and hazard-free
  • Load and unload vehicles and support wider yard duties when needed
  • Report any safety hazards, near misses or maintenance issues straight away

Requirements

  • What you’ll bring

  • Hands-on experience in goods-in, returns, a yard, plant or tool hire depot, wash bay, valeting, recycling or a similar physical role

  • A good eye for detail and accurate record-keeping (handheld scanners or simple systems)

  • 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

  • Nice to have: counterbalance forklift licence, CSCS card, asbestos awareness or COSHH training – we’ll train you if not
