The Opportunity

We are recruiting an experienced Warehouse Manager for a growing business operating within the commercial building materials sector.

This is a newly created role offering the opportunity to take full ownership of a busy warehouse operation, lead an expanding team and help shape how the department develops.

The environment is fast-paced and hands-on, handling large and bulky materials rather than small parcels. You will oversee goods-in, stock control, cutting operations, picking, loading and housekeeping, ensuring everything runs safely, efficiently and on time.

Around 75% of your time will be spent on the warehouse floor, with the remainder dedicated to administration, reporting and improvements.

We are looking for a confident, decisive manager who sets clear standards, tackles issues directly and ensures procedures are followed consistently.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and motivate the warehouse team, including line management of the Warehouse Supervisor.

Set and enforce standards for attendance, punctuality, performance, conduct and PPE.

Recruit, train and develop team members as the operation grows.

Set weekly targets, monitor KPIs and address under performance.

Provide regular operational updates to senior management.

Warehouse Operations and Stock

Plan and coordinate cutting schedules, picking and order preparation.

Ensure materials are processed accurately and loads are ready on time.

Oversee goods-in, delivery checks, documentation and stock locations.

Maintain effective stock rotation and minimise waste and offcuts.

Take ownership of stock control, stocktakes and record accuracy.

Keep warehouse systems and spreadsheets up to date.

Health, Safety and Housekeeping

Take responsibility for health and safety across the warehouse and external yard.

Enforce PPE requirements and safe working practices.

Identify and resolve hazards promptly.

Maintain high standards of cleanliness, organisation and housekeeping.

Develop clear reporting and monitor warehouse performance.

Review procedures and identify improvements to efficiency and productivity.

Establish consistent working practices and contribute ideas as the business grows.

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience managing a warehouse team and day-to-day operations.

A strong, decisive leadership style and the confidence to enforce standards.

A hands-on approach and willingness to work alongside the team.

Good organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.

Experience of stock control, goods-in, picking and warehouse operations.

Competence with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.

Full, valid UK driving licence.

Counterbalance or reach forklift truck licence.

IOSH or NEBOSH qualification.

Experience in flooring, construction, building materials or bulky goods.

Experience developing warehouse KPIs and reporting processes.

Practical experience and management ability are more important than formal qualifications.

Salary and Benefits

Company vehicle.

Monday to Friday, 5:00am-2:00pm.

Paid day off for your birthday.

Company pension with 4% employer contribution.

Death-in-service benefit worth four times basic salary.

Income protection covering 80% of basic salary after six months’ service, subject to scheme terms.

Uniform and PPE provided.

Ongoing training and development.

Monthly team bonus opportunity of 2-5%, linked to performance and scheme conditions.

Weekly recognition awards and regular team lunches.
