UBT Recruitment provides professional talent acquisition services to a broad network of SME businesses across Australia & New Zealand. We are currently partnering with a dynamic family owned and operated business based in Palmerston North, looking to recruit an experienced Warehouse Team Leader.

 

The Company

Our client is a fourth generation, New Zealand family owned business. With 30 years' experience, they are a leading supplier of quality metal fasteners, supplying nuts, bolts, screws, washers, threaded rods and socket screws throughout New Zealand. They sell indirectly through their reseller network to many of New Zealand's core industries including the agricultural, forestry, hydro, fishing and processing sectors. At the heart of their business is a set of traditional values and exceptional industry knowledge. Their business is built on one simple question: How can we help? Customer experience is paramount, that's why they hold over 99% of their range in stock on their premises in Palmerston North.

 

The Role

As the Warehouse Team Leader, you will be an integral member of the leadership team, ensuring you lead by example, fostering a positive team culture in the warehouse. You'll be leading a busy team of up to 20 staff, with hands on responsibility for providing direction and guidance to the team. On a typical day the warehouse will service circa 200 orders, so someone who is efficient, hardworking and driven will do well in this role.

Inventory item numbers sit at over 15,450 codes, and there are over 69 million items in stock. That means there's over 1,655,009 kg in the warehouse, so someone who has managed a warehouse of a comparable or larger size is required.

Additional to the day to day running of the warehouse and the management of the team, we are looking for someone who is experienced using technology to strive for continuous improvement. Our client is embarking on a journey to a paper-free future, so we are looking for someone who can champion this approach, having previously worked in an organisation who utilised technology to modernise their way of working.

The role includes the following responsibilities:

  • Managing the inwards flow of goods from inbound containers
  • Managing the dispatch of goods to couriers
  • Stock control; replenishing and packaging
  • Ensuring site Health and Safety policies are strictly adhered to
  • Ensure KPIs for the warehouse team are achieved
  • Conducting quarterly and yearly performance reviews with staff
  • Training and coaching of team members
  • Championing a positive working environment where the job is done right the first time
  • Identifying opportunities for improvements

 

What we are looking for:

  • Experience managing a team of more than 10 staff within a warehouse environment
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to effectively manage pressures and prioritise effectively
  • Strong computer skills
  • A ‘customer first' attitude
  • Valid forklift licence
  • Good level of physically fitness

 

What is in it for you?

  • Great salary with team-based bonus scheme
  • Working for a company who embrace technology
  • Working for a Kiwi owned and operated company who put the customer first!

 

If you have proven success supervising teams, leading by example, and a genuine passion for creating a positive workplace culture we want to hear from you.
