We recruit warehouse managers, shift managers and team leaders for Aberdeen and Scotland, screened on the sites they have actually run.
Distribution sites run on routine and pressure in equal measure. We recruit people who handle both.
Warehouse employers across North East Scotland include energy supply-chain operators, seafood and agri-food distribution, chilled logistics and North Sea support services. Each runs a different operation, so we recruit to the site rather than the job title.
Ambient, chilled, e-commerce and returns operations each need a different kind of leader. We recruit each one differently.
Warehouse leadership roles across North East Scotland are spread across sites such as the Altens and East Tullos estates and the A96 corridor towards Elgin.
The people who run the floor and the people who improve it.

Indicative permanent salaries in Aberdeen run from around £28k for shift supervisors up to £55k+ for site and operations managers.
Managers of large or automated sites usually earn more than those on smaller manual sites, but local competition can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the sites within a realistic commute and the people running them.
Candidates who are not looking are approached with the details that matter to them.
We keep in touch through the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
An empty leadership seat costs more than the advert: overtime, agency spend and pressure on the rest of the team.
Team leaders are often promoted from the floor. We recruit for both routes into management.
