West Midlands

Warehouse leaders for Smethwick sites

We look for leaders who have run an operation like yours: the same volumes, the same shift pattern, the same kind of stock.

Logistics around Smethwick is powered by the Golden Triangle's big-shed distribution and a deep automotive and manufacturing supply chain. Across the West Midlands, warehouse leaders are in demand at sites such as the Black Country manufacturing belt and the M5 northern corridor.

We ask candidates about the volumes, the WMS, the headcount and the shift pattern they have managed before we mention your vacancy.

Across the West Midlands, warehouse leaders are hired by automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

For Smethwick sites facing a busy year, the right permanent manager is the difference between surviving peak and planning for it.

A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the site as it runs on a normal week, not the best one.

A strong warehouse brief covers:

  • The site, its size and what it stores
  • Daily volumes and peak volumes
  • The WMS and any automation on site
  • Your interview process and any site visit
