Warehouse recruitment for Crawley operators who need leaders to hit pick rates, accuracy and safety targets year after year.
Permanent warehouse hires should improve the site, not just keep it ticking over.
Distribution sites across the South East are served by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Good managers weigh the commute and the shift as carefully as the salary.
A shift manager who leaves in the first year costs a search, a handover and months of lost momentum on the floor.
Warehouse demand across the South East tracks retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs, so peak recruitment starts early.
Leadership roles across goods-in, storage, picking and despatch.
We ask candidates what they improved on their last site before we ask about their notice period.
Volumes, headcount, systems and stock profile: we match leaders to sites like yours, not just to a job title.
For a new site or contract we can recruit the whole team, with start dates planned around go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Crawley run from around £28k for shift supervisors up to £55k+ for site and operations managers.
Base salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare shift allowance, bonus, car allowance and the hours they will actually work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the sites within a realistic commute and the people running them.
Site experience, results, safety approach and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
We arrange interviews and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.
Interim cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when the site needs someone to own the results.
Team leaders are often promoted from the floor. We recruit for both routes into management.
