Warehouse recruitment for Lerwick operators who need leaders to hit pick rates, accuracy and safety targets year after year.
Every warehouse candidate we put forward is screened on the sites they have run and the results they delivered.
Warehouse vacancies across the Highlands & Islands come from whisky and food and drink distribution, renewable energy logistics, island and remote-delivery operators and regional hauliers. Each needs leaders who can hold standards through peak.
Night shifts, weekend cover and continental patterns suit different people. The shift pattern is one of the first things we ask about.
With the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles serving the region, site managers across the Highlands & Islands can be drawn from a wide commute.
Warehouse roles for every kind of operation: ambient, chilled, e-commerce and returns.
We ask candidates what they improved on their last site before we ask about their notice period.
Safety record and approach are part of every warehouse screen, not an afterthought at interview.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months in the job, while a new manager settles in.
Indicative permanent salaries in Lerwick run from around £28k for shift supervisors up to £55k+ for site and operations managers.
We compare offers from sites of a similar size and type, not out-of-date surveys. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Site experience, results, safety approach and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.
We help agree salary, shift allowance and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
We keep in touch through the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.
Warehouses run best with stable leadership. Frequent changes at the top show up in accuracy, safety and staff turnover.
We ask candidates why they left their last site. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
