Role: Warehouse Manager

Department: Logistics

Reports to: Head of Supply Chain & Planning

Location: UK (multi-site)

Type: Permanent

The Opportunity

ARCA Resourcing is partnering with a growing, high-performance manufacturing business to appoint a hands-on Warehouse Manager.

This is not a “sit behind a desk” role. You’ll take full ownership of warehouse operations across multiple sites, leading a small team while ensuring the efficient flow of goods, accurate inventory, and seamless support to production and customer delivery.

If you’re someone who spots inefficiencies, fixes them, and thrives in a fast-moving SME environment, this will suit you.

• Identify and resolve material shortages, bottlenecks, and inefficiencies
• Maintain high levels of stock accuracy through robust systems and cycle counting
• Investigate discrepancies using root cause analysis and implement corrective actions
• Implement structured storage systems to improve accessibility and efficiency
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organised warehouse aligned with Health & Safety standards
• Ensure compliance with legal, regulatory, and quality requirements
• Maintain accurate, auditable documentation

Team Leadership & Development

• Lead, develop, and support warehouse and inventory personnel
• Set clear expectations and manage performance
• Build a high-performing, accountable team culture
• Ensure consistent adherence to training, safety, and operational best practices

Continuous Improvement & Reporting

• Drive continuous improvement across warehouse operations (efficiency, accuracy, scalability)
• Develop and implement SOPs and best practices
• Use data and reporting to monitor performance and identify improvements
• Maintain accurate stock data within ERP/MRP systems
• Track and report on key warehouse KPIs

• Background within manufacturing or a similar production environment
• Strong understanding of inventory control and stock management
• Experience leading or managing a small team
• Comfortable using ERP/MRP or stock control systems
