Where can Next Furniture Manufacturing take you?

Next is one of the UK’s best known high-street retailers and most established online operations but have you ever wondered who builds our stylish and comfortable sofas?

In 2016 we opened our doors with just one production line and 8 years later we have 200 employees and 14 production lines.

We’re blazing the way for modern British Manufacturing from our home in Armthorpe, Doncaster.

Let’s take it on!

Next Furniture Manufacturing is going from strength to strength. With new lines and new products, we are looking to recruit a Forklift Truck Operator to join the team.

You will be processing materials and stock through the manufacturing facility and warehouse using Manual Handling Equipment whilst working at height, paying close attention to detail to ensure stock is moved and stored accurately in the warehouse. You will also be required to work on other jobs including picking / packing of furniture when needed

About You

You will be comfortable working at height and have a Reach and Counter Balance licence. You will be a team player, able to work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and possess excellent communication skills

This is a fantastic opportunity for a FLT operative who loves working in a fast paced environment where no day is ever the same. Being ‘hands on’ will be in your nature but don’t worry if you have never worked in a furniture manufacturing environment before; we will offer full training and will bring you up to speed on our ever growing range of models and designs!
