Are you an experienced Warehouse Supervisor looking for your next challenge? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing food manufacturer in Lancashire at a pivotal time. With plans to expand warehousing facilities and implement digital systems, this role offers a genuine opportunity to make your mark and lead the transformation of warehouse operations.
The role..
You’ll take full ownership of the day-to-day running of the warehouse, including freezer and ambient storage areas. Managing a team of five warehouse operatives, you’ll ensure smooth, safe, and efficient operations across all shifts. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll also play a key part in piloting and rolling out a new warehousing system, moving the site away from paper and Excel toward a digital future.
Collaboration is key—you’ll work closely with production, supply chain, and health & safety teams to ensure materials are where they need to be, when they need to be, while maintaining a safe and well-organised warehouse. You’ll also have a say in how a new warehousing facility is developed and run, including input into layout, systems, and freezer operations.
What we are looking for..
* Strong leadership experience in a warehouse management role, ideally in food or FMCG
* Comfortable with traditional warehousing practices and ready to drive digital transformation
* Confident managing warehouse staff, including absence, holidays, and HR processes
* Hands-on approach – able to jump on a forklift if needed
* Strong understanding of stock control, wastage reduction, and warehouse layout efficiency
* Knowledge of SAP or other WMS would be a bonus
* A proactive, can-do attitude with the ability to solve problems creatively and cost-effectively
What you will get in return..
* Salary of £35,000–£45,000, depending on experience
* 26 days holiday + 8 bank holidays
* 8% matched pension (with additional salary sacrifice options post-probation)
* 4x salary life insurance
* 6 weeks’ company sick pay in any 12-month rolling period (post-probation)
* The chance to join a well-established business with strong values, a collaborative team, and excellent career development opportunities
