Permanent warehouse and distribution leaders for sites in Leeds: managers, shift leads and inventory specialists who run a tight operation.
Permanent warehouse hires should improve the site, not just keep it ticking over.
Distribution sites across West Yorkshire are served by the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham. Good managers weigh the commute and the shift as carefully as the salary.
Night shifts, weekend cover and continental patterns suit different people. The shift pattern is one of the first things we ask about.
Across West Yorkshire, warehouse leaders are hired by retail and e-commerce DCs, regional 3PLs, manufacturing and port logistics.
Leadership roles across goods-in, storage, picking and despatch.
