Assistant Warehouse Manager

Buckinghamshire

£35,000 - £40,000 Benefits

• Acting as an on-site representative with clients and ensuring service excellence.
• Ensuring compliance with health & safety protocols.
• Monitoring performance metrics and suggesting improvements.
• Liaising with office-based teams to keep everything running smoothly.

What You'll Need

• Experience in warehouse, distribution or event operations.
• Supervisory or Team Leader experience with a practical, can-do attitude.
• A full UK Driving Licence (essential).
• Strong organisation and communication skills.
• The ability to prioritise, multitask, and problem-solve under pressure.

• 21 days holiday bank holidays.
• Uniform and on-site parking.

• A chance to grow with a thriving business.
