Are you a driven individual looking to be part of a fast growing business with huge growth plans?
You will be working within some really exciting markets such as aerospace, formula one racing cars, engineering, oil and gas and pharmaceuticals.
Our client works within the metal industry. Metal is absolutely everywhere and is a necessity not a luxury, so a great market to be working within.
Mirable’s client is looking for a confident, energetic and forward-thinking Logistics Manager to join their Southampton operation.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone with strong people-management experience who wants real ownership, autonomy and scope to grow. You do not need to be the finished article, but you do need to bring drive, confidence, personality and the ability to lead a team in a fast‑paced operational environment.
The Role
You will take responsibility for the day‑to‑day running of a busy warehouse and logistics operation, leading a team of around 16 people and helping to drive performance, service levels and continuous improvement.
The successful candidate will be someone who enjoys getting stuck in, building relationships with different personalities, challenging the status quo and bringing fresh ideas to the table.

* Monitor KPIs and identify opportunities to increase efficiency
* Manage team performance confidently and constructively
* Support training, workforce planning and team development
* Ensure health & safety standards are maintained
* Work closely with other departments to meet customer expectations

What We’re Looking For in a Logistics Manager
* At least 2 years’ experience leading or managing a team
* Experience in a warehouse, logistics, distribution, retail operations or similar fast‑paced operational environment

* A proactive, positive and improvement‑focused mindset
* The ability to work with autonomy and take ownership
* Strong communication and problem‑solving skills
* A genuine passion for leading teams and improving performance
