YOUR ROLE
This is a hands‑on leadership role requiring strong operational discipline, visible presence and the ability to make real‑time decisions in a fast‑paced, shift‑based logistics operation. The night shift works Monday to Friday, 10pm to 6am.
As a Night Shift Manager you will take full responsibility for the execution of inbound and outbound activities during the shift. You will lead a team to ensure volumes are received, unloaded, verified and booked accurately as well as pick-to-load and dispatch activities, protecting downstream flow, inventory integrity and service performance and ensuring operational control.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
* Lead all inbound and outbound activities during the shift, including vehicle receipt, unloading, decant, verification, system booking, pick-to-load and dispatch.
* Ensure volumes are processed in line with plans, throughput targets and service expectations.
* Act as the first point of escalation for shift‑level operational, safety or quality issues.
* Champion a strong safety‑first culture and ensure compliance with Health & Safety standards, SSOW and client standard work.
* Lead, coach and engage Team Leaders and Warehouse Associates to deliver safety, quality and productivity targets.
* Manage labour deployment, agency usage and dock plans within agreed parameters.
* Monitor real‑time performance, adjusting resources to maintain flow and minimise disruption.
* Lead clear shift handovers and ensure accurate reporting and escalation of risks.
* Drive right‑first‑time execution, operational discipline and continuous improvement on shift.
* Support the Operations Manager with any additional tasks as and when required.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
You will have proven experience of managing or supervising a team, ideally within a fast‑paced, shift‑based warehousing or e‑commerce environment. You will possess a strong understanding of inbound and outbound operations with a proven track record of delivering against safety, quality and productivity targets, and be knowledgeable in identifying and implementing Lean and continuous improvement methods.
You will be a confident and visible leader with excellent communication skills, able to remain calm and decisive under pressure, high volume and time‑critical situations.
Desirable, but not essential, experience includes site start‑up, peak or ramp‑up operational experience.
