3PL Warehouse Manager
Felixstowe (with 1 day a week in Buntingford) | £45,000 – £50,000 per year | Full time, permanent
About us
GM Food Packaging (UK) Ltd has supplied food-contact packaging to leading food-service brands across the UK and Europe since 2001. We’re growing fast, and our Felixstowe operation is at the heart of how we deliver for our customers.
The role
We’re looking for a hands-on Warehouse Manager to run our dedicated operation at our 3PL partner’s site in Felixstowe. You’ll own OTIF (on time, in full) performance out of the site, lead a team of four, and help shape the future of the operation as we install our own warehouse management system (WMS) in the coming months.
The site holds around 6,000 pallets of our stock and handles roughly 22,000 pallet movements a year. You’ll be based in Felixstowe four days a week, and spend one day a week at our Buntingford office connecting with the wider team. You’ll report to our Operations Director.
What you’ll be doing
- Owning OTIF for all orders leaving Felixstowe and driving improvements where we fall short
- Working closely with our outbound logistics and customer service teams to keep customer deliveries on track
- Leading the four 3PL operatives dedicated to our work, setting priorities and standards each day
- Overseeing goods in, storage and regular stock checks to keep stock accurate
- Organising occasional stock reworking and supervising vehicle loading
- Playing a lead role in our WMS installation and other site improvement projects
- Building a strong, accountable relationship with our 3PL provider
What we’re looking for
- Proven people management experience, ideally in a warehouse or logistics setting
- A good understanding of customer service and OTIF
- Confidence with IT, including warehouse or stock systems, Excel and email
- A full UK driving licence
It would be great if you also have
- Experience in a 3PL or palletised warehouse environment
- Experience implementing or using a WMS
- A background in food, packaging or FMCG
- A counterbalance or reach truck licence, or a health and safety qualification such as IOSH
What we offer
- Salary of £45,000 – £50,000, depending on experience
- The chance to shape a growing operation and lead a WMS rollout from the start
- 25 days' holiday
- Private health insurance
