This isn’t your average warehouse role. This is fast-paced, high-energy, no-room-for-mistakes kind of stuff. You’ll be leading from the front, running the show, and making sure everything flows perfectly from warehouse to production. If things stop, production stops.
About You

- You’re hands-on and not afraid to get stuck in with your team.
- You spot problems early and fix them fast.
- You communicate clearly and keep everyone aligned.
- You take ownership – when it’s yours, it’s yours.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and supervise the warehouse team – keeping everyone sharp, focused, and on it.
- Make sure all tasks are completed on time, every time – no errors.
- Own the full warehouse operation – from staffing and training to daily performance.
- Ensure your team is trained, confident, and fully equipped to smash their roles.
- Keep quality tight – if it’s not right, it doesn’t go to production. No exceptions.
- Double-check materials, packaging and labels are 100% correct (details matter here).
- Spot and report errors, stock shortages, or issues before they become problems.
- Keep production flowing by delivering the right materials, in the right volumes.
- Work closely with Purchasing and management to flag and fix any issues.
