Logistics Supervisor Night Shift in Rochdale

You will be the driving force behind our nocturnal logistics, supervising a dedicated team to manage everything from intake to dispatch while maintaining a safety-first culture. Your goal is to ensure 100% load accuracy and system integrity before the sun comes up.

Safety & Team Leadership: Champion a "zero-harm" environment, managing staff attendance, conducting return-to-work interviews, and coaching your team to hit high performance standards.

Operational Control: Oversee the picking and dispatch schedules, ensuring all stock follows FIFO principles and that trailer turnarounds are handled with precision.

Inventory & Systems: Maintain real-time SAP accuracy, liaising with Production and Planning to resolve discrepancies and manage stock age or quality risks.

Compliance: Own the documentation process for audits and traceability, ensuring every pallet and paper trail meets our rigorous food safety standards.

Experience: You possess a proven track record in warehouse or transport supervision, ideally within a high-pressure manufacturing or FMCG environment where timing is everything.

Hard Skills: You are highly proficient in SAP or similar WMS/ERP systems and Microsoft Office; holding a valid forklift license (counterbalance or reach) is a significant advantage.

Soft Skills: You are a proactive problem-solver with a "safety-first" mindset, capable of motivating a diverse team and remaining calm and clear-headed under operational pressure.
