Warehouse Shift Manager jobs
Keeping the warehouse running effectively is essential for any business, as it ensures that products are delivered in a timely manner, stocks are maintained at the right levels and records are kept up to date.
The role of a Warehouse Shift Manager will vary, depending on the company in question and the nature of the business. However, whether the organisation operates in the manufacturing, construction, retail, medical or defence sector - or another field - the person in this role will be responsible for leading a team and ensuring all activities run smoothly and efficiently.
In most cases, this will involve scheduling teams, managing operational activities and ensuring all working practices follow guidelines established by the company, health and safety and government legislation.
The skills required
Anyone considering a role as a Warehouse Shift Manager should have a knack for communication, as you’ll need to provide instructions to your team and report to directors, customers and colleagues on a regular basis. Good organisation skills are a must and you should be keenly aware of details.
In addition, an analytical mind and ability to make carefully considered decisions quickly will help you stand out from the competition.
Computer literacy is also a must - particularly knowledge of WMS systems, spreadsheets and databases, as well as the Microsoft Office suite.
Finally, since the role requires working on a shift rota, candidates will need to have flexible schedules and be comfortable with working at any time of the day.
Warehouse Shift Manager Jobs in Monmouthshire
Tucked right down in the south east corner of Wales is Monmouthshire. It shares borders with England (Gloucestershire and Herefordshire) and Glamorgan to the west. The largest settlement is Abergavenny, with about 15,000 population, followed by Chepstow, Caldicot and Monmouth, each with around 10,000. Both Severn Bridges arrive in Wales in Monmouthshire, although the eastern bridge passes over a small part of Gloucestershire first.
Monmouthshire is a relatively rural county, although there are population centres on the southern coast onto the Bristol Channel. The bridges provide excellent links between Bristol and Newport and Cardiff beyond, and these cities are the prime locations if you’re seeking Warehouse Shift Manager jobs and are prepared to commute. That said, such positions do appear in Monmouthshire from time to time.
