The posting
This role is based at our MME1 Fulfillment Center at Symmetry Park, Darlington.
Please note this is a warehouse/logistics environment located at a business park on the edge of Darlington. While Darlington has excellent rail connections (East Coast Main Line), the site itself is approximately 3-4 km from the station with limited local bus services — having access to your own transport is an advantage
