Assistant Warehouse Manager

Buckinghamshire

£35,000 - £40,000 + Benefits

• Acting as an on-site representative with clients and ensuring service excellence.
• Ensuring compliance with health & safety protocols.
• Monitoring performance metrics and suggesting improvements.
• Liaising with office-based teams to keep everything running smoothly.

What You'll Need

• Supervisory or Team Leader experience with a practical, can-do attitude.
• A full UK Driving Licence (essential).
