WAREHOUSE MANAGER - DONCASTER
Up to £60,000 + Bonus + Pension
Modern NDC Facility | International Inbound & Outbound | Growing, Established Business
Are you a high-performing Warehouse Manager who thrives on ownership, pace, and getting things done?
Do you want to lead a major, modernised distribution centre and be trusted to run it your way?
We are an established, 20-year-old business entering a new phase of growth. Having outgrown our original site, we are investing in a larger, fit-for-purpose warehouse in Doncaster, complete with long-bay loading for efficient high-volume operations. We need a self-driven, independent, and action-focused leader to take charge of the entire DC operation.
The Role
As Warehouse Manager, you will run the full operation of our new NDC, overseeing international inbound flows, UK/EU outbound distribution, inventory control, team leadership, operational improvements, and the layout/optimisation of the new facility.
You will work closely with European depots, UK Head Office, and outdoor hardware and furniture suppliers worldwide.
But let's be clear:
This is not a "desk manager" role.
This is a hands-on, decision-making, sleeves-up leadership position at the centre of a growing business.
What You'll Be Doing
Leading and developing the entire warehouse team
Managing all inbound/outbound flows across UK and European routes
Overseeing long-bay loading, unloading efficiency, storage optimisation and inventory accuracy
Driving operational improvement, space utilisation and workflow design
Playing a key role in the relocation, setup, and optimisation of the new site
Collaborating daily with UK Head Office, European depot leads, and global suppliers
Maintaining top-tier H&S standards across people, plant, and product
Taking ownership of decisions-big and small-to keep the operation movingWhat We're Looking For
Someone currently running a large (> 100,000 sq ft) warehouse or depot
Strong experience in international inbound logistics and outbound distribution
Proven team leadership in a high-volume environment
Background in bulky, outdoor, large-format, hardware or furniture products (ideal)
A self-starter, independent operator and absolute "doer
A confident decision-maker who owns outcomes, not excuses
Someone who thrives in growth, change, and operational improvementWhy This Role Stands Out
✔ You will shape a flagship site during a major expansion phase
✔ You'll have autonomy: we want a leader, not a caretaker
✔ Direct influence across UK and European operations
✔ A business with 20+ years of stability and ambitious future plans
✔ Competitive salary, performance bonus, and strong pension
If you're ready to run a major warehouse operation with true ownership, pace, and influence-we'd love to hear from you.
