• Conducting regular 1-2-1s with direct reports, maintaining accurate team records, and overseeing attendance, timesheets and working hours.
• Maintaining a visible presence on the warehouse floor, building strong relationships and promoting effective communication across teams.
• Overseeing the day-to-day running of the shift, planning and managing resources to meet operational targets and quality standards.
• Allocating workloads effectively, monitoring KPIs, shift performance and operational data, and adapting plans in response to changing priorities and business needs.
• Delivering clear daily briefings, effective shift handovers and proactive communication to ensure continuity and operational success.
• Acting as a key link between operational and administrative teams, managing escalations and handling sensitive information confidentially.
• Promoting a strong safety culture by ensuring compliance with health and safety standards, maintaining a clean and organised workplace, supporting site security, access control and loss prevention measures, and adopting an inclusive working environment.
• Deputising for the Shift Manager and supporting wider logistics and distribution centre operations as required.
