Main Duties
Day-to-Day Responsibilities of a VNA Truck Operator
- Operate a VNA truck safely within a busy high-bay warehouse environment
- Move and position pallets in narrow aisle and high-bay racking areas
- Carry out put-away and replenishment of stock to designated locations

The successful FLT VNA driver will be working in one of the most demanding but rewarding warehouse environments in the UK. Magna Park MK8 operates at significant volume, which means the role demands consistent accuracy, strong spatial awareness, and the ability to maintain safe operating standards under pressure.
Unlike a standard reach truck operator or counterbalance forklift driver, VNA operators must demonstrate an additional level of precision. The narrow aisle environment demands controlled, calm operation — and our clients at Magna Park expect nothing less. If you have experience as a warehouse forklift operator across multiple truck types, this experience will be viewed positively during assessment.
You will operate a VNA truck in a high-bay narrow aisle warehouse at Magna Park MK8 — moving pallets, replenishing stock, picking, and maintaining safe, accurate warehouse operations on day, night, or rotating shifts.
What We're Looking For
Essential Requirements for VNA Truck Operators
A VNA licence is a forklift operator certification specifically for Very Narrow Aisle trucks. It covers safe operation in aisles as narrow as 1.6 metres, high-bay racking navigation, emergency procedures, and pre-use inspection requirements. In the UK, VNA training is typically delivered by accredited providers including RTITB, ITSSAR, and AITT.
It is worth noting that while a formal forklift operator licence issued by an accredited body is preferred, some Magna Park clients may accept candidates with strong in-house VNA certification from a previous employer. This will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. If you are currently working towards a forklift operator license or looking to upgrade from a reach truck driver or counterbalance FLT driver background, please still get in touch — we can advise on the best route forward.
Additional experience operating a bendi truck, flexi bendi, or order picker will always strengthen your application as a warehouse forklift operator. Candidates with broader FLT experience — including counterbalance forklift driver or reach truck operator background — often adapt quickly to VNA operation.
