How to write a warehouse worker CV

Professional summary

Two or three sentences: how many years in warehousing, what type (e-commerce, wholesale, production, cold store), which licences and systems. Add that you can work shifts, if you can.

Warehouse worker with a year of experience at an online shop's warehouse. I pick and pack orders with a scanner and work accurately and fast. I am doing a forklift course.

Experience: duties and achievements

Warehouse numbers say the most: hitting targets, the number of orders or pallets, no errors. Also describe the machines and systems you work with.

Weaker: Picking orders.

Better: Order picking with a scanner in the WMS, 110% of target on average.

Weaker: Driving a forklift.

Better: Operating a high-reach truck, putting goods away up to 10 m high.

Weaker: Receiving goods.

Better: Receiving deliveries, checking quantity and quality and reporting discrepancies.

Skills worth listing

List the licences, types of forklift, systems and documents you know. In logistics this shortens onboarding and often raises the pay rate.

Professional skills

  • Picking, packing, scanner
  • WMS and ERP systems
  • Forklifts: counterbalance, side loader, high-reach
  • Warehouse documents: goods received, dispatch, transfer notes
  • Stocktaking
  • Health and safety and storage rules

Personal skills

  • Accuracy
  • Fast pace of work
  • Responsibility for goods
  • Shift work
  • Teamwork

Warehouse worker licences

The most important are UDT licences for industrial lift trucks, often also for high-reach trucks. List exactly which ones you hold, because the employer will check them before hiring you.

Warehouse worker CV with no experience

Describe physical or casual work, handling deliveries at a shop or helping with house moves. Any experience with goods and accuracy counts.

A forklift course is a good investment to get started. If you are doing one, say so on your CV.

Tailoring your CV to the job offer

An e-commerce warehouse looks for fast picking, a wholesaler for issuing goods and contact with customers, a cold store for work at low temperatures, and production for supplying the line. Put what matches the job ad at the top.

Warehouse worker, order picker or forklift operator?

Warehouse job titles vary, and job ads often look for a specific role. An order picker collects orders with a scanner and packs them, a forklift operator unloads deliveries and puts goods away on racks, and a warehouse worker at a wholesaler also issues goods to customers and prepares documents.

If you have done several of these tasks, write about all of them. Employers like to hire someone they can move to another role when warehouse volumes change.
