The Role

This is where you move from leading a team… to owning the operation.

You’ll be responsible for making sure the warehouse runs properly. Not just “busy” - but efficient, safe, and hitting targets consistently. You’ll be managing people, processes, and performance all at once.

It’s a step up in accountability. You’re not just overseeing tasks anymore, you’re responsible for making sure everything comes together and delivers.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Overseeing day to day warehouse operations across inbound, outbound and dispatch
• Managing team leaders and operatives to ensure performance targets are met
• Planning and allocating labour to meet workload and deadlines
• Ensuring orders are picked, packed and despatched on time
• Driving health and safety standards across the warehouse
• Monitoring performance, KPIs and reporting accuracy
• Holding team meetings and setting clear expectations
• Supporting, training and developing your team including appraisals
• Managing absence, holidays and general people management
• Dealing with issues quickly including operational and people challenges
• Working closely with clients and attending performance meetings
• Identifying areas for improvement and driving operational changes

What You’ll Need

• Strong experience within a warehouse or distribution environment
• Proven experience managing teams in a fast paced operation
• Good understanding of warehouse processes, KPIs and performance management
• Experience dealing with employee relations issues and people management
• Confidence communicating with both teams and clients
• Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities
• Good IT skills including Excel and warehouse systems
• A proactive approach with a focus on improving how things are done

What You Might Not Like

• You’ll be accountable for both people and performance
• It’s a fast paced environment where things don’t always go to plan
• You’ll be dealing with people challenges regularly
• There’s pressure to hit targets and maintain standards consistently

What To Do Next

If you’re ready to take ownership, lead a team properly and make an impact on how a warehouse actually runs, this is a strong opportunity!
