Job description

Fancy a Supervisor role where you're actually supervising?

We're looking for a hands-on Warehouse Supervisor to join a brilliant, long-standing team that genuinely enjoys working together. Due to the current Warehouse Supervisor relocating, they are on the lookout for a new Warehouse Supervisor to join their team.

About the Company

This is one of those businesses where people tend to stay.

The warehouse team is small, stable and incredibly loyal, with very little staff turnover. Everyone gets on, everyone mucks in, and there are no egos. It's a relaxed environment filled with people who prefer getting on with the job rather than being the loudest person in the room.

If you're looking for good people, a solid team and a workplace where everyone has each other's backs, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Be Doing

• Supervising the day-to-day warehouse operation
• Opening up in the morning and locking up at the end of the day
• Loading and unloading exhibition equipment and machinery
• Operating forklifts and safely handling awkward-shaped items
• Managing stock movements and keeping the warehouse organised
• Liaising with drivers, suppliers and transport teams
• Rolling your sleeves up and helping wherever needed
• Assisting with import and export shipments

What you’ll need to succeed:

• Previous warehouse supervisory, deputy supervisor or team leader experience
• Someone practical, organised and full of common sense
• Good numeracy and literacy skills
• Comfortable communicating with lorry drivers, suppliers and colleagues
• Happy to lead from the front rather than from behind a desk
• A laid-back personality and a sense of humour wouldn't hurt!

What's In It For You?

• Stable, successful business with international coverage & exceptionally low staff turnover
• Friendly, down-to-earth team
• Genuine autonomy and responsibility
• Interesting project work supporting exhibitions across the UK
