Suffolk & the Haven ports

Recruiting warehouse managers in Felixstowe

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

Across Suffolk & the Haven ports, much of the warehouse work sits at sites such as the Port of Felixstowe, the A14 freight corridor and the Haven Gateway parks. We search for leaders who already know that market.

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

With the A14, A12 and the Felixstowe-to-Nuneaton rail freight route, plus the Port of Felixstowe serving the region, site managers across Suffolk & the Haven ports can be drawn from a wide commute.

How it works

From brief to start date

The site brief

Volumes, systems, shift pattern, headcount and the problem the new leader needs to solve.

Screening

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

Settling in

We keep in touch through the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Before we start searching

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:

  • Daily volumes and peak volumes
  • The WMS and any automation on site
  • The shift pattern and how the team is structured
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
