Warehouse Shift Manager - Bangor

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 Bangor

The County Down town of Bangor is a north-facing seaside town lying 10 miles (16 km) east of the centre of Northern Ireland’s capital Belfast. Newtownards is a few miles to the south, but Bangor is surrounded on all sides by lush agricultural land, making it a desirable place to live, favoured by affluent people and commuters to the city. It’s also a resort for holidaymakers and day-trippers, with parks and golf clubs aplenty. The front, which opens up onto the eastern part of Belfast Lough, has three distinct characters. To the west it is made up of low cliffs and rock formations; in amongst the rocks is a popular marina; and to the east there’s a cove with a sandy beach.

Bangor is connected to Belfast by the last remaining part of the Victorian Belfast and County Down Railway, and has two stations, with regular services. There is also the main A2 road which connects the two in a 20-minute drive. Towards the end of the journey you would pass Belfast City Airport, a commuter favourite, handy for Bangor’s business community.

At the south of Bangor is a business park with various light industry as well as leisure facilities such as ex-Formula One driver Eddie Irvine’s enterprise, an activity centre with karting, paintball, laser combat and football. With a population of around 60,000 with relatively affluent needs, logistics and supply chain positions such as Warehouse Shift Manager jobs do appear from time to time in Bangor, but widening your search to include Belfast would certainly pay dividends.
