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 Dunbartonshire
Dunbartonshire is a wide, thin strip of a county in the central Lowlands of Scotland. It is wedged between Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Stirlingshire and Argyll and Bute, and has the town of Dumbarton as its county town. Quite why the town is spelt with an M and the county with an N is a historical quirk, but it’s certainly worth noting if you’re applying for jobs here! (Dunbartonshire is sometimes called the County of Dumbarton, just to confuse matters.)
Dunbartonshire is well linked to Glasgow and has the Loch Lomond National Park to its north, making the county a popular part of the tourist trail as well as a desirable place for commuters. We do find Warehouse Shift Manager and similar jobs within the county, but Glasgow should also be a very strong option in your job search.
