Drive continuous improvement projects using Lean, 5S, and time-in-motion principles to enhance throughput and cost efficiency. Champion Health & Safety, promoting ownership and accountability throughout the team to sustain our zero-harm culture. Collaborate cross-functionally with Finished Goods, Inventory Control, and Planning to ensure full alignment across our national distribution network. To be successful in this role, you will need: Proven experience in warehouse supervision or leadership, ideally within a spare parts, technical distribution, or manufacturing environment. Strong leadership skills with the ability to build capability, motivate teams, and create a culture of ownership and continuous improvement. In-depth understanding of Health & Safety principles with demonstrated success embedding a proactive safety culture. Commercial acumen with experience managing labour allocation and productivity in dynamic operational settings. Proficiency in ERP/WMS systems (J.D. Edwards preferred), Microsoft Office, and RF scanning technology. Strong analytical and problem-solving ability with experience utilising KPIs and reports to drive decision-making.
