Site Operations Manager | Nuneaton | Retail | £52k
About the Company
I am currently partnering with a leading UK distribution and retail business, supplying a broad range of products to customers through a fast-paced national network.
This is a long-standing business that has experienced significant growth and now employs hundreds of colleagues across multiple sites nationwide. Due to continued investment in infrastructure, technology, and people, it has enabled the organisation to expand its operational footprint and deliver market-leading service levels across the UK.
The Opportunity
I am seeking an experienced Site Operations Manager to lead the launch and ongoing operation of a brand-new distribution centre in Nuneaton. The site will officially open in October, but the business is looking to bring someone in at an early stage to complete training and be part of the recruitment process for colleagues.
This is a key leadership role responsible for overseeing all warehouse and site operations, ensuring the efficient movement of goods, maintaining high service standards, and developing a high-performing team. You will be responsible for running the day-to-day operation, reporting to the Regional General Manager.
