Job description

Location: OCS Worldwide (Colnbrook) – 100% On-site. We thrive on face-to-face momentum and hands-on leadership, even when the rest of the world is sleeping. Reporting to: Operations Manager / Hub Manager (with direct responsibility for keeping our core operations running flawlessly). The Mission: We are looking for a relentless, dynamic leader who never settles for second best and thrives under the pressure of a fast-paced environment. You are obsessed with doing things the right way—safeguarding strict regulatory compliance and safety without ever sacrificing speed, efficiency, or our agreed customer service levels.

Our operational demands are relentless. OCS Worldwide is innovative and nimble, and we need a proactive, razor-sharp Operations Supervisor to spearhead our day-to-day shift of warehouse and fulfilment activities. Your goal is clear: lead and motivate your operational teams, drive maximum operational quality, and ensure our solutions strictly adhere to compliance requirements to guarantee safe, accurate customer deliveries.

What You Bring to the Table (Experience):

• Operational Mastery: Deep expertise in supervising daily warehouse operations, ensuring every single customer shipment is processed accurately and strictly within tight SLAs.
• Relentless Drive: A hard-hitting mentality focused on allocating labour effectively to meet priorities, monitoring workflow, and responding instantly to changing operational demands.
• Unyielding Compliance Focus: You interpret and execute on complex regulations flawlessly, ensuring 100% compliance with HMRC Customs, Security regulations, GDPR, and Dangerous Goods procedures. You do it right, every single time.
• Elite Team Leadership: You command respect on the warehouse floor. You lead by example, conducting daily shift briefings, managing performance and timekeeping, and actively coaching and mentoring your team members.
• Decisive Safety Management: You promote an uncompromising, positive safety culture by carrying out regular inspections, investigating any incidents immediately, and maintaining excellent housekeeping standards.

The Mindset (You Must Be Open To):

• Driving Continuous Improvement: Finding innovative solutions to reduce operational waste, strip out unnecessary costs, and improve overall efficiency across the shift.
• Challenging the Status Quo: Escalating operational issues decisively and implementing rapid, effective solutions rather than waiting for direction.
• Unshakeable Resilience: Remaining calm under pressure and highly flexible to cover busy periods and adapt to fast-paced demands.
• Customer Obsession: Never forgetting that an elite customer experience drives everything we do, maintaining excellent communication with internal departments to smash customer expectations.

The Package & Impact:

This is a highly autonomous, hands-on role requiring you to work a Saturday to Wednesday shift pattern. Your leadership will directly shape our operational performance and customer satisfaction.

• Competitive basic salary, supplemented by dedicated Weekend and Night Allowances.
• 20 days annual leave, increasing up to 25 days with continuous service.
• Company healthcare scheme enrolments (after 1 year’s continuous service).

Note: Because this role requires critical hands-on supervision, manual handling, and continuous team development within a warehouse environment, it is unsuitable for hybrid or remote working arrangements. We need you on the floor, driving results and leading the team.
