We have an exciting opportunity for a Day Shift Supervisor to join us at our Maidstone Depot. We’re always on the lookout for top talent to join our growing business. In fact, we never stand still; we work hard, make quick decisions, and deliver to our ambitious goals every day.

Our Day Shift typically runs from 11:00 to 23:00, Monday to Sunday, working any 5 days in 7.

Why Join our Team?

Here at Evri, our vision is to lead the way in creating responsible delivery experiences for everyone, everywhere.

With fantastic growth and success over the past years, it’s time to shape our future. With our recent exciting rebrand from Hermes to Evri, we are all about our people, our planet, and our communities.

Our refreshed values are important to us: Do the right Thing, Celebrate Cost Leadership, Be Dynamic, and Deliver for Customers. Our Evri people are what set us apart.

We are looking for individuals to join the Evri family who share our passion and drive to delight our Customers.

Job Purpose:

Our Day Shift Warehouse Supervisor is a key role working with our Operations Manager to ensure the smooth running of the day operation in our Depot, where you will lead teams of Sorters and Drivers in processing parcels delivered from client sites into smaller geographic areas for final delivery to customers.

About the Role:

You’ll be joining our business as a key member of the Depot Management team. Working under the Operations Manager, you will support your Depot by providing strong people management to all front-line staff on your shift.

You will supervise a mixed team of contracted and agency staff across our day shifts. The Day Shift is crucial as it handles the growing returns part of our business as well as parcels collected from our network of Parcel Shops.

We need professionals who can motivate, manage, and, where necessary, discipline a diverse workforce to get the best out of them. You will also talent manage and develop your team so that as promotion and more senior roles become available, you have the talent to build your team.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and train reports and ensure SLA’s are met for the day shift
• Process MI reports based on work output of Drivers and Loaders
• Manage all areas of the day parcel shop operations, sortation, and transportation efficiently and cost-effectively
• People Management – recruitment, induction, ongoing engagement of Warehouse drivers, performance and attendance management, daily debriefs, and weekly reports
• Compliance – legalities, management of domestic driving hours (breaks, shift lengths, rest periods), and driver compliance support in depots
• Resourcing – planning local routes to ensure effective parcel delivery and optimal roster utilization

Essential skills and experience required:

• Ability to work on own initiative in a pressurized environment with tight deadlines
• Experience managing teams in a fast-paced logistics environment is a definite advantage
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office
• Transport knowledge, skills, or experience including regulations
• Good communication skills and ability to liaise at all levels
• Flexible approach to meet business requirements

What we can offer you:

• A competitive salary, bonus, 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays, 3% pension contribution, life assurance, and income protection
• A great range of flexible benefits, including shopping vouchers, insurance, and healthcare
• Opportunities for career progression into managerial roles within the function and wider business

At Evri, we don’t just accept difference — we celebrate it, support it, thrive on it, and are proud to be an equal opportunities employer.
