Fine Art Porter / Driver's Mate at Auctionet

Auctionet, an online marketplace for auction houses in Sweden, Great Britain, Finland, Spain, Germany and Denmark, is hiring a Fine Art Porter / Driver's Mate for its UK logistics team in Feltham, Greater London. The porter works as the second pair of hands with a lead driver to load, unload and manoeuvre heavy or delicate items such as large canvases, marble sculptures and mid-century furniture, learns specialist soft-wrapping and crating techniques, supports the driver with navigation and secure loading of a 3.5t Luton van, and represents the company at London galleries and private residences.

Auctionet describes the post as an entry point into art logistics with mentorship from experienced handlers. It wants someone physically capable and used to heavy lifting, discreet and personable, adaptable and attentive to detail. Previous removals, warehousing or logistics experience, a UK driving licence and an interest in antiques or the auction industry are bonuses, not requirements.

The post is permanent; pay is not stated. The recruitment process is a short phone interview, a meeting and possibly a brief practical trial. Apply through the Indeed listing.
