Warehouse Supervisor - Halifax

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 Halifax

A minister town in West Yorkshire, located to the south west of Bradford, Halifax is a good choice for those seeking Warehouse Supervisor opportunities.

From the 15th century, the town was an important location for the manufacture of wool and cloth. The textile industry continued to thrive through the 19th century, although most of the wealth that came to the town during this period was derived from cotton instead of wool.

In 1853, a building and investment society was formed in the city, which would later become known as the Halifax bank. It's now part of the Lloyds Banking Group and operates mainly from London.

Halifax has also been known for its confectionary production since the late 1890s when John Mackintosh and his wife started selling toffee from a shop in the town centre.

The business quickly expanded and resulted in a number of brands that are still popular today, such as Rolo, Toffee Crisp and Quality Street. Now owned by Nestle, which is based in York, a factory continues to operate in Halifax, churning out millions of tasty treats every year.

Today, the town's economy is mainly based in the retail and service sectors. A number of large business parks have been developed in the region - such as Dean Clough, which is located on the site of what was once the world's largest carpet factory. It provides workspace for SMEs and larger organisations ranging from IT and media companies, as well as financial services and healthcare facilities.
