Warehouse Recruitment in Hartlepool

Permanent warehouse and distribution recruitment across the Tees Valley, from shift supervisors to general managers.

Tees Valley

A warehouse recruitment desk for Hartlepool

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

Across the Tees Valley, much of the warehouse work sits at sites such as the Teesport container terminal and the Hartlepool and Billingham industrial areas. 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 A19, A66 and A1(M), Teesport and Teesside International Airport serving the region, site managers across the Tees Valley can be drawn from a wide commute.

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

When a role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the cause is the shift, the salary or the site. Then we say which.

A strong warehouse brief covers:

  • The WMS and any automation on site
  • The shift pattern and how the team is structured
  • Salary, bonus and shift allowance
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
