Warehouse operative jobs in Caerphilly

Warehousing and storage in Caerphilly is counted at 400 employee jobs, 0.74% of the 54,000 employee jobs the survey records in the area.

Picking and packing sit inside that count, along with goods in, stock control and shift management, because the survey counts sites rather than tasks. The 350 freight transport by road jobs in Caerphilly are counted separately, and they are the vehicles those sites load.

UK Business Counts recorded 20 warehousing and storage sites in Caerphilly at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. Business counts are rounded one cell at a time, so the bands sit loosely against the total. 10 of them, 50%, employ under ten, well below the usual share. Warehousing that shape is built on big sheds, and big sheds mean four on four off, twilights and nights.

Of the warehousing and storage employee jobs the 2024 survey splits by hours in Caerphilly, 15 are part time, 3.6% of the split. The middle across Wales is 14.5%, so Caerphilly sits below it, 21st of 22 areas on this measure. The split is almost entirely full time, which usually points to sites running fixed shift patterns rather than flexible cover.
