A high level of computer literacy is required and you must be physically fit, able to retrieve and return large, awkward and heavy items located in both low and high-shelving areas in stores that are environmentally controlled with temperatures ranging from 2 degrees to 15 degrees to suit long term preservation of heritage collections in different formats.
