Job description

Warehouse Team Leaders

Nights 6pm-6am | 4 On 4 Off

Coventry

Inbound | Outbound | Fulfilment | Logistics

Not every Team Leader role is actually leadership.

Some are basically just firefighting with a radio and a headache.

This one is different.

We're looking for proper hands-on operational leaders who can keep teams motivated, operations moving and standards high within a fast-paced warehouse environment.

People who aren't afraid to get stuck in.
People who naturally take ownership.
People who can organise a shift properly without turning the place into chaos.

We currently have multiple Warehouse Team Leader opportunities available across inbound, outbound and fulfilment operations on a days-based 4 on 4 off shift pattern.

If you've worked within fast-moving warehouse or logistics environments and enjoy leading from the front, this could be a brilliant next step.

The Role

You'll support the day-to-day running of the warehouse operation, helping manage workflow, staffing, productivity and operational performance across your area.

You'll work closely with Supervisors and Operations Management whilst acting as the main point of support for warehouse operatives on shift.

This is a visible leadership role where communication, organisation and attitude genuinely matter.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading and supporting warehouse operatives across the shift
• Managing workflow across inbound, outbound and fulfilment operations
• Supporting labour planning and shift organisation
• Monitoring productivity, performance and operational flow
• Supporting rework, repack and operational projects when required
• Assisting with training and onboarding new starters

  What You'll Need

  • Previous warehouse or logistics experience
  • Previous Team Leader, Senior Operative or supervisory experience
  • Experience within fast-paced operational environments
  • Good understanding of warehouse processes and workflow
  • MHE exposure or experience is highly beneficial
  • Strong communication and organisational skills
  • Ability to motivate and support teams on shift
  • Confidence working under pressure within busy operations
  • Basic Microsoft Office and operational systems experience
  • A hands-on and proactive approach

  What They're Looking For

  They don't want someone who just delegates work all shift.
  They want someone the team respects.
  Someone who stays calm when things get busy.
  Someone who can keep standards high without creating drama every five minutes.
  A proper operational Team Leader.

  What You Might Not Like

  Warehouse operations move fast.
  Priorities change constantly.
  Volumes spike.
  Things go wrong.
  You'll be on your feet and involved in the operation.
  If you prefer sitting behind a desk all day, this probably won't be your thing.
  But if you enjoy pace, teamwork and making operations run smoothly, you'll fit in well here.

  The Shift

  • Nights - 6pm to 6am
  • 4 on 4 off
