Greater Manchester

Recruiting warehouse managers in Manchester

A new site manager changes the culture of a warehouse within weeks. Getting the hire right matters more than filling it fast.

Distribution sites across Greater Manchester are served by the M60, M62 and M6, Manchester Airport and the Manchester Ship Canal. Good managers weigh the commute and the shift as carefully as the salary.

Opening a new site or taking on a new contract? We can recruit a full leadership team, from general manager to team leaders.

Experienced supervisors at sites such as Trafford Park (one of Europe's largest industrial estates), Omega in Warrington and Airport City rarely need to look for work, so we approach them directly.

Who we place

Permanent warehouse jobs in Manchester

From team leaders to site and operations managers.

What Manchester sites get

Matched on the operation, not the title

Site results first

We ask candidates what they improved on their last site before we ask about their notice period.

Pay that lands

We benchmark salary, shift allowance and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.

A shortlist, not a pile of CVs

A short list of people who fit the site, each with notes on scale, systems and results.

What warehouse leaders earn

What warehouse leaders earn in Manchester

Indicative permanent salaries in Manchester run from around £28k for shift supervisors up to £55k+ for site and operations managers.

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.

Notice periods for senior warehouse roles can be long, so we plan the timeline from the first call.

A strong warehouse brief covers:

  • The WMS and any automation on site
  • The shift pattern and how the team is structured
  • The key performance measures for the role
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
