We're currently working on behalf of our client, a well-established and growing SME based in Edenbridge, to recruit a hands-on Warehouse Supervisor to take ownership of day-to-day warehouse operations and lead a busy, fast-paced team.
This is a highly practical, "lead from the front" role — ideal for someone who thrives in a working environment where they are just as involved on the warehouse floor as they are in supervising the team.
Our client is looking for a reliable, organised and proactive individual who can maintain high standards of accuracy, safety, and efficiency, while motivating others to do the same.

* Overseeing the full order cycle from picking through to packing and dispatch
* Ensuring inbound and outbound shipments are processed correctly with accurate paperwork
* Carrying out basic checks on equipment and escalating any repair needs
* Supporting in assembly/build tasks when operationally required
* Keeping the warehouse clean, organised, and operating at a high standard
* Supporting onboarding and day-to-day guidance of new starters and apprentices
