We believe that our employees are the key to our success. We want to engage and empower our diverse, global team to co-create value with our customers through our solutions in contract logistics and air, ocean, ground, and finished vehicle transport. That is why CEVA Logistics offers a dynamic and exceptional work environment that fosters personal growth, innovation, and continuous improvement.

At CEVA Logistics, we Rise in Motion. Your career is always on the move, growing as fast and as far as your ambition takes you. Join a global team of nearly 200 nationalities, shaping the future of global trade, moving essential goods, forging new paths, and pushing boundaries to serve an ever-changing world.

YOUR ROLE

Our Ground & Rail operation in Daventry is looking for a Shift Supervisor to join the team! You’ll lead the day-to-day warehouse operation, keeping things safe, compliant and running smoothly.

This is a Sunday to Thursday shift, 22:00 - 06:30.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

• Lead and support a small team of Warehouse Operatives, keeping the team motivated, engaged and focused on delivering daily targets.
• Take ownership of the day-to-day warehouse operation, ensuring activities are completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard.
• Promote a strong safety culture, ensuring all Health & Safety procedures are followed, and the warehouse remains safe, clean and compliant.
• Plan and allocate people and resources effectively to meet daily workloads, operational targets and customer requirements.
• Monitor team performance and key operational KPIs, addressing issues promptly and providing support to keep performance on track.
• Deliver clear shift briefings, provide coaching and guidance, and support team members to develop and perform at their best.
• Identify and implement opportunities to improve safety, quality, productivity and customer service across the operation.
• Support stock control activities, including cycle counts and investigating and resolving inventory discrepancies.
• Contribute to Lean and continuous improvement initiatives, using problem-solving and root-cause analysis to improve processes and drive more efficient ways of working.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Our ideal candidate will have previous experience leading or supervising a team within a warehouse, logistics or distribution environment.
