Leaders for ambient, chilled and e-commerce warehouses in and around Kirkwall, recruited onto your payroll.
A new site manager changes the culture of a warehouse within weeks. Getting the hire right matters more than filling it fast.
Warehouse employers across the Highlands & Islands include whisky and food and drink distribution, renewable energy logistics, island and remote-delivery operators and regional hauliers. Each runs a different operation, so we recruit to the site rather than the job title.
Night shifts, weekend cover and continental patterns suit different people. The shift pattern is one of the first things we ask about.
Large sites such as Inverness and the A9 corridor distribution depots often recruit at the same time, which pushes up the price of experienced managers.
Leadership roles across goods-in, storage, picking and despatch.
We benchmark salary, shift allowance and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Safety record and approach are part of every warehouse screen, not an afterthought at interview.
For a new site or contract we can recruit the whole team, with start dates planned around go-live.
Indicative permanent salaries in Kirkwall run from around £28k for shift supervisors up to £55k+ for site and operations managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, bonus, holiday, the shift and the culture of the site. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the sites within a realistic commute and the people running them.
Candidates who are not looking are approached with the details that matter to them.
A short list with notes on each candidate's scale, systems and results.
The best shift managers become the next site managers. Hiring well now builds the succession plan.
Strong warehouse leaders value investment in their team, sensible targets and a head office that listens.
