Warehouse Supervisor jobs
Maintaining a well-organised warehouse is an important consideration for any business. It helps to ensure the effective control of resources and is also essential for keeping to the operational deadlines and other benchmarks that have been set for the department.
In most cases, a warehouse supervisor will be responsible for setting performance standards and confirming they are adhered to, as well as managing the team and performing various admin duties.
This includes monitoring and reporting on key performance indicators and establishing improvements in existing systems in order to improve efficiency. In turn, this will enhance customer satisfaction and benefit the company financially.
Warehouse supervisors are also required to take steps to ensure all documentation is completed accurately, investigate any queries or inconsistencies and take steps to resolve problems as they arise.
In addition, a person in this occupation will generally be tasked with setting staff schedules, undertaking health and safety checks and making sure that all legal regulations and company policies are adhered to.
The skills required
Those applying for warehouse supervisor vacancies should have experience in a leadership role. Planning and organisation skills are essential, enabling you to create staff rotas and establish effective work schedules.
An ability to make confident decisions and set priorities is also a must. In addition, you will need work well under pressure and stick to strict deadlines.
Good communication is another vital skill for warehouse supervisors, as you will need to interact with company stakeholders, colleagues, team members and customers on a regular basis.
Finally, a level of computer literacy can be a great benefit - especially knowledge of databases, spreadsheets and the Microsoft Office package.
Warehouse Supervisor Jobs in Greater London
An administrative area that was created in 1965, Greater London is often described as the region within the M25. It comprises the City of London, as well as the 32 boroughs, and is home to an array of businesses, making it an ideal choice for those seeking Warehouse Supervisor opportunities.
For hundreds of years, London was known for its shipping and manufacturing, producing everything from textiles and food products, through to automobiles and ironwork.
In fact, a number of such facilities are still in operation today, such as the Tate & Lyle sugar refinery in Silvertown, Warburtons in Brimsdown and Nestle in Hayes. At the Ford factory in Dagenham, vehicle body panels and diesel engines are manufactured, while Fuller's Brewery operates out of Chiswick.
For the most part, however, London's economy is now based in the financial and service industries.
Around 70 per cent of the FTSE 100 are located within Greater London. In Canary Wharf, you'll find the headquarters of HSBC, Barclays, Citigroup and Reuters, while other big-name businesses in Greater London include the Guardian Newspaper, Balfour Beatty, GlaxoSmithKline, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Marks & Spencer, BP, British American Tobacco and Royal Dutch Shell.
What's more, transportation is a huge part of London's economy and day-to-day operation. Overground trains, underground trains, buses, coaches, taxis and trams all keep Londoners on the move, while the area is also home to a number of airports and the Port of London.
