Warehouse Recruitment in Cardiff

Leaders for ambient, chilled and e-commerce warehouses in and around Cardiff, recruited onto your payroll.

South Wales

Warehouse leaders for Cardiff sites

Distribution sites run on routine and pressure in equal measure. We recruit people who handle both.

Cardiff is Wales' capital and largest logistics market, served by the M4 corridor and the ABP ports at Cardiff and Newport. We recruit the permanent leaders who keep those sites performing.

When the Cardiff market is thin for warehouse talent, we widen the search along the commute and give you an honest view of the likely shortlist.

Warehouse demand across South Wales tracks steel and heavy manufacturing logistics, food and drink distribution, port operators and regional 3PLs, so peak recruitment starts early.

Roles we recruit

Warehouse roles we fill in Cardiff

Permanent warehouse roles matched to site, shift and volume.

Why a warehouse specialist

People who can run the floor

Health and safety on the list

Safety record and approach are part of every warehouse screen, not an afterthought at interview.

A shortlist, not a pile of CVs

A short list of people who fit the site, each with notes on scale, systems and results.

Leadership teams for new sites

For a new site or contract we can recruit the whole team, with start dates planned around go-live.

Pay & benchmarking

What warehouse leaders earn in Cardiff

Indicative permanent salaries in Cardiff run from around £28k for shift supervisors up to £55k+ for site and operations managers.

How it works

How a warehouse search runs

Approach

Candidates who are not looking are approached with the details that matter to them.

Screening

Site experience, results, safety approach and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.

Site visits and interviews

We arrange interviews and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

An empty leadership seat costs more than the advert: overtime, agency spend and pressure on the rest of the team.

A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the site as it runs on a normal week, not the best one.

A strong warehouse brief covers:

  • The WMS and any automation on site
  • Headcount, including agency labour at peak
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
  • Your interview process and any site visit
