The role goes beyond day-to-day management. You'll actively support the Production Shift Managers in delivering output and step in to cover them when needed and coordinate with external hauliers and monitor stock levels. Maintaining raw material availability to match the production plan will be a key focus, as will investigating variances in stock checks, managing waste, reporting and following up on building or equipment issues and upholding site-wide housekeeping and food hygiene standards.

You'll need,
* Proven experience in warehouse management within a food production / food manufacturing environment.
* Excellent organisational and communication skills, and the confidence to balance operational priorities with compliance demands.
* A Counterbalance Forklift Licence is essential, and Bendi licence would be advantageous.
* Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook and Teams).
Whether you're already an experienced Warehouse Manager or a strong Supervisor, Team Leader, Shift Manager or Deputy Manager looking to step up, this role offers the scope and support to grow into a critical leadership position. Your decisions will directly shape warehouse performance, production delivery and customer satisfaction, while giving you the chance to build and develop a capable team in a values-led, progressive food manufacturing business.
The role is based in East London and is commutable from East, North and South London, Essex, Kent and Hertfordshire.
