Here at GXO, we're recruiting for a Control Room Manager to join our Mountain Warehouse operation in Peterborough, from 08:00 to 16:30. This is a unique opportunity to play a leading role in an exciting automation transformation, supporting the journey from a partially automated operation to a fully integrated, highly automated distribution centre.

We’re looking to offer a salary of up to £50,000 per annum. In addition, we offer 25 days of annual leave (plus bank holidays), as well as the option to buy additional days so you can enjoy a positive work-life balance. You’ll have access to private healthcare, a dental plan, a workplace pension, our GXO University which provides you the opportunity to learn new skills and gain qualifications at a pace that you’re comfortable with. Plus, many perks such as a variety of high street discounts, a cycle to work scheme, and our continued focus on internal promotions, over 55% last year!
