What to put on a warehouse CV
Warehouse and distribution jobs are often filled quickly through agencies and online applications, and many sites take on extra staff for peak season. Employers want people who work safely, pick accurately, turn up for every shift and can keep to a pick rate, so your CV should prove those first.
Licences and tickets count for a lot. Put them near the top, with the type of truck and who accredited your training.
Whatever the job, the UK CV format applies: your name and contact details, a short profile, experience with the most recent first, then education and skills. No photo, age or date of birth.
Licences and tickets
Forklift and other trucks (counterbalance, reach, VNA, powered pallet truck) with the accrediting body, such as RTITB, ITSSAR or AITT, and your last refresher. A full UK driving licence if you have one.
A short profile
The kind of warehouse you know (grocery, parcels, retail, manufacturing), the shifts you work and what you are good at.
Experience
Picking and packing, goods in, loading, stock counts, returns, RF scanners and the warehouse management system. Your pick rate and accuracy, if you know them, next to the site target.
Health and safety
Manual handling, IOSH Working Safely, first aid, fire marshal and any safety improvements you suggested.
Shifts and travel
Nights, earlies, lates, weekends and overtime, and how you get to the site, as many are out of town.

Warehouse CVs: your questions
Should I put my forklift licence on my CV?
Yes, near the top. Say which trucks you are trained on (for example counterbalance or reach), the accrediting body such as RTITB, ITSSAR or AITT, and when you last did a refresher. Employers usually still assess you on site.
Should I put my pick rate on my CV?
Only the rate you actually achieved, with the context, for example your units per hour against the site target. Sites measure picks differently, so a rate means more next to a target or an accuracy figure.
Can I get a warehouse job with no experience?
Yes. Many warehouse roles, especially seasonal ones, train new starters. Show you are reliable and safe: your attendance record, any physical or outdoor work, manual handling training and the shifts you can do.
