Romac Logistics are currently recruiting for an experienced Warehouse Night Shift Manager to join our growing operation based in Chesterfield.
This is a hands-on night shift management role with responsibility for ensuring the safe, efficient and consistent running of our chilled warehouse operation throughout the shift. You will lead the night team, manage labour and operational performance, maintain high standards of Health & Safety and compliance, and ensure inbound and outbound activity is delivered in line with agreed service levels and dispatch times.
Working closely with Warehouse Team Leaders, Planning, Transport and Customer Services, you will take ownership of the shift from handover through to completion, proactively identifying and resolving issues before they impact our customers or wider network.
At Romac Logistics, people are the foundation on which we build our success. Our strong culture values collaboration and the relationships we build across our diverse teams.
We strive to create a workplace where employees can be their best, feel respected and take pride in the work they do. Our people are our biggest asset, and creating an environment where they can develop and thrive is essential to our continued success.
As our network continues to grow, we are looking for experienced leaders who can drive high standards, develop their teams and take real ownership of operational performance.
