About The Big Phone Store
The Big Phone Store is one of the UK's established mobile phone refurbishment and recycling companies. From our Wolverhampton operation, we buy, test, refurbish and sell thousands of mobile devices, supplying consumers and businesses across the UK.
We're looking for a Workshop Operative to become a hands-on part of our operation.
This isn't a job where you'll necessarily stand in the same place doing the same task every day. We're looking for capable, adaptable people who can work across different areas of the business, learn quickly, think for themselves and get things done.
What you’ll be doing
Your work will vary depending on what the business needs and where your skills are best suited.
On different days, you could be:
- Testing mobile phones and checking their functionality
- Assessing and grading the condition and quality of devices
- Working alongside our technicians in the refurbishment and repair workshop
- Helping prepare devices and components for different stages of refurbishment
- Booking products into our computer systems
- Receiving, checking, sorting and organising stock
- Picking and packing customer orders
- Preparing orders for dispatch
- Using scanners, tablets and computer systems to update stock and order information
- Checking work for quality and identifying problems
- Supporting different teams to achieve daily targets
- Helping keep work areas organised, efficient and safe
The exact work will change. That's an important part of the job.
We're looking for people who are comfortable moving between different tasks and departments rather than expecting to do one narrowly defined job every day.The type of person we're looking forPrevious mobile phone, refurbishment or warehouse experience isn't essential.We're more interested in your attitude, ability, work ethic and willingness to learn.You'll need to be hard-working and dependable, comfortable working at pace and achieving targets, confident using a computer, comfortable with technology and willing to learn new systems, able to follow processes and instructions accurately, adaptable and willing to work across different departments, able to think for yourself and use common sense, team-focused, focused on quality as well as productivity, and able to work without constant supervision.Excellent English and communication skills are essential.
