About the role

The Warehouse Team Manager will support the site management team in the efficient and cost effective management of the warehouse operations. It will be your responsibility to ensure the smooth running of the daily Warehouse operation and enable the required level of service to be provided to the customer at all times.

Main Responsibilities

In this role, you will take full responsibility for ensuring the accurate and efficient receipt, storage, picking, and dispatch of goods in line with agreed productivity targets and budgetary requirements. You will maintain the highest standards of operational excellence while fostering a safe and compliant working environment through strong leadership and effective team management.

You will need

To succeed in this role, you’ll bring a strong understanding of warehouse operations within the FMCG distribution industry, coupled with practical knowledge of managing and supervising a busy depot environment. Familiarity with the wider business and operational processes will be key to ensuring efficiency and compliance. While your primary focus will be on warehouse management, a general understanding of transport and logistics functions would be a valuable advantage.

As a leader of a team of warehouse operatives, you’ll demonstrate exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, enabling you to motivate, coach, and develop colleagues to achieve high performance. Your ability to manage people effectively, including handling training and formal processes, will be critical to maintaining a productive and positive working environment.

Strong IT proficiency is essential, as you’ll regularly use MS Office applications to produce accurate reports, analyse data, and manage documentation for operational and disciplinary procedures. Attention to detail, organisational skills, and a proactive approach will help you thrive in this fast-paced, dynamic setting.

This Role is working Monday - Friday 10pm - 6am
