Job Description

IT Manager

Logistics / Warehouse / Retail

£45,000 - £50,000

Leeds – Onsite

Must be available to start immediately

This is an IT lead opportunity to join a global logistics organisation with a client portfolio across retail, industrial, detail picking, healthcare, and e-commerce sectors. The organisation is setting up a brand-new warehouse site and needs an experienced IT professional to manage both hardware and software across the location.

You’ll be the IT lead on site and, at the beginning, the only IT person. This means the role will be very hands-on to start with but will also involve higher-level responsibilities. Once the site is fully operational, you’ll be responsible for building and leading the IT team.

Day-to-day, tickets will cover both hardware and software. Hardware will include full warehouse/logistics support: cabling, terminals, tablets, scanners, etc. Software will include internal business systems such as Office 365, HR, onboarding systems, and more.

You’ll also be supported by an offsite centralised IT team, so it’s important that you can communicate effectively and build strong working relationships with both onsite and offsite staff.

Experience required:

• Proven IT support experience in a logistics or warehouse environment
• Senior-level IT experience – must be confident handling both hands-on and hands-off responsibilities
• Strong across both hardware and software support
• Excellent communication skills and a proactive attitude

This is a great opportunity to join a greenfield site with lots of career progression.

You must be available to start immediately to be considered!
