Warehouse Recruitment in Derby

Permanent warehouse and distribution recruitment across Derbyshire, from shift supervisors to general managers.

Derbyshire

A warehouse recruitment desk for Derby

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

Derby pairs a world-class advanced-manufacturing base with quick access to the East Midlands Gateway, making it a strong hub for both supply-chain and distribution talent. We recruit the permanent leaders who keep those sites performing.

We ask candidates about the volumes, the WMS, the headcount and the shift pattern they have managed before we mention your vacancy.

With the A38, A50 and M1, East Midlands Airport and the East Midlands Gateway rail freight terminal serving the region, site managers across Derbyshire can be drawn from a wide commute.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

A leader who knows the site's history makes better decisions about people, layout and process.

Team leaders are often promoted from the floor. We recruit for both routes into management.

A strong warehouse brief covers:

  • The WMS and any automation on site
  • The shift pattern and how the team is structured
  • The key performance measures for the role
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
