Warehouse Shift Manager (Area Manager)
Bicester CFC
Why Ocado? Here at Ocado Logistics it’s our mission to provide an outstanding customer experience for our partners, developing groundbreaking technology, opening multiple sites at an accelerating rate and engaging in exciting new business partnerships around the world - changing the way the world shops, for good.
We are the beating heart of our UK business and comprise a network of cutting edge warehouses and offices across the country that ensure that we optimise the experience and use our proprietary technology across the supply chain to deliver an exceptional shopping experience. At the same time delivering bags of possibilities for our employees and a career that will ensure no two days are ever the same.
About the role
We wouldn’t be able to positively impact the way the world shops without our passionate team members - who keep our business running, our vans delivering, our customers' products picked and packed and our proprietary technology operating at optimum levels. Both behind the scenes within the warehouses and across the front end of the customer experience, we now have an opportunity for a Warehouse Manager (Nights) to join the team at our Bicester Customer Fulfilment Centre. You will be crucial in leading, motivating, and supporting your operational team to maintain exceptional health and safety standards, drive people engagement, and ensure the delivery of key performance indicators (KPIs) during night operations in a dynamic, 24/7 environment.
You will be:
- Leading and motivating night shift teams as a Warehouse Manager (Nights) in a fast-paced environment, focusing on employee safety, conduct, welfare, and performance.
- Championing Health & Safety standards overnight, completing thorough adverse event investigations and embedding a proactive safety culture across your business unit.
- Managing people metrics and team development to drive positive employee experience, coaching, performance management, and labour retention.
- Overseeing operational excellence and food safety compliance overnight, ensuring high standards of housekeeping and smooth shift handovers through clear pre-shift briefings.
- Interpreting key operational data and metrics to continuously optimise night operations and drive performance improvements across the warehouse.
