- Friday: 13:00 – 20:00
What we’re looking for:
- Proven experience leading teams within a warehouse, logistics, or distribution environment, with the confidence to manage operational performance and people outcomes.
- Strong understanding of warehouse operations, including labour planning, workflow management, service delivery, and operational KPIs.
- A strong commitment to health and safety, with the ability to identify risks, make decisions, and maintain high standards across the operation.
- Excellent communication and leadership skills, with experience coaching, developing, and supporting team members to achieve their potential.
- A proactive and solutions-focused approach, with the ability to make decisions under pressure and drive continuous improvement.
