Your Time at Work
As a Section Leader, you'll support the Section Manager in overseeing daily operations within the intake, packaging, or yard areas. You'll ensure smooth workflow, maintain health and safety standards, and help coordinate the team to meet operational targets. You will be the go-to person, providing guidance, training, and making sure tasks are completed to a high standard.
Key Responsibilities
* Oversee daily operations in intake, packaging, or yard areas to ensure smooth workflow and timely processing of customer orders
* Monitor team performance, address delays, and ensure daily targets are met
* Lead daily briefings, allocate tasks, and provide on-the-job coaching and motivation
* Train new team members and support skills development across the team
* Maintain high standards of health, safety, and hygiene, reporting hazards and ensuring GMP compliance
* Assist with stock handling, equipment checks, and maintaining machinery
* Carry out weekly safety audits and ensure compliance with all company policies
* Identify and implement improvements to boost efficiency, quality, and team performance
Our Perfect Worker
Our ideal Section Leader will have previous supervisory experience, ideally within fresh produce, food production, or a fast‑moving consumer goods environment.
Experience in warehousing, intake, or packaging is essential, and you must be able to demonstrate the ability to lead and motivate a team. You should be able to thrive in a fast‑paced setting, meet deadlines, and maintain a positive, solution‑focused attitude. Familiarity with warehouse management systems is desirable, and training in health and safety (e.g. IOSH) is also desirable.
The role involves working in a cold environment (3‑5°C) and may occasionally require lifting items up to 20kg. We are looking for someone who is detail‑oriented, methodical, and brings strong leadership skills.
You must be able to communicate effectively in both written and verbal English.
While experience in a similar role is desirable, it is not essential, as full training will be provided.
