• Plan and allocate workloads, resources and priorities to ensure operational and productivity targets are achieved.
• Oversee battery sorting, processing, storage, loading and dispatch, ensuring materials are correctly identified, segregated and handled.

• Maintain accurate stock movements, operational records, documentation and reporting.
• Manage effective shift handovers and communicate operational, staffing, safety, quality and equipment issues to the wider management team.
• Lead by example and drive continuous improvement, identifying opportunities to improve safety, quality, productivity and efficiency.

Who you are:

You’ll be a confident and hands-on leader who is comfortable taking responsibility for both people and operational performance. You’ll be organised, safety-conscious and able to keep a busy shift focused when priorities change.

Ideally, you will bring:

• Previous experience supervising or leading a team within a warehouse, manufacturing, recycling, waste or similar operational environment.
• A strong approach to health and safety, with the confidence to challenge unsafe behaviours and ensure procedures are followed consistently.

• The confidence to lead from the front, set clear expectations and hold people accountable while providing appropriate support and coaching.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to deliver clear shift briefings, instructions and handovers.
• Good organisational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to respond quickly to operational, staffing, equipment or quality issues.
• A good eye for detail and an understanding of the importance of accurate operational records and documentation.
• A positive approach to continuous improvement, with the confidence to identify and suggest better ways of working.
• The ability to work collaboratively with colleagues across Operations, HSEQ and the wider business.
