Full job description

This short assessment needs to be filled out in order for us to review your application: https://arthurfjohnson.github.io/mk-warehouse-mgr/

We are opening a warehouse in Milton Keynes from scratch. Empty floor, then racking, then stock, then live B2B, B2C, and Amazon FNSKU under one roof. We need the person who will hold responsibility for the warehouse in its entirety: build it with us, then run it.

This is a ~15,000 sq ft site. You own the whole operation: layout, labour, output, and the path to seven-day hours. You will be on the floor when it is needed (a bad install, a missed collection, a shift with no supervisor yet). That is not the whole job. The job is the warehouse.

We are not hiring a corporate ops manager. We are hiring someone who is probably an assistant or assistant manager now, has come up from the floor, and wants to grow into the manager seat with a firm rather than wait 5 years for someone to leave. If wasted walking bothers you, and you like making a small team produce, this is the job.

The warehouse will not stay 9-5, five days. We will run seven days, stretching toward early mornings through late evening, then 24/7. You will not personally work every hour. You will build the supervisor layer and the rota so the site is a continual operation, and you will cover some early, late, and weekend gaps while that is being stood up.

What you will do

Build the site

- Help design the floor: inbound, bulk racking, pick faces, B2B pack, B2C pack, FNSKU station

- Get racking firms in, compare quotes, be on site for install, fix what is wrong before it is full of stock

- Optimise in stages: enough to go live, then watch real walking and output, then add the next bay of steel / pack benches

- Plan and run the product move-in so goods are located and pickable, not dumped

Run the mix

- Same day: wholesale pallets, ecommerce parcels, Amazon FNSKU labelling

- Decide, every hour, which of those makes the company money right now, and put people there

- Be on the floor when needed. Fork, label, pack, or coach if that is what gets the work out. You still hold the whole site.

Make labour pay

- Temps pick, pack, and label. They do not tour the warehouse

- Set stations so a new person is productive in an hour (stock, labels, cartons in reach)

- Cut walking, waiting, and double-handling. If the path is long, move the stock

- Book temps for actual work; do not keep people busy

- Hold standards (quality, safety, breaks) without drama

Turn it into a continual operation

- End state: you as the warehouse manager, plus supervisors covering the hours

- Get us to seven days, then ~06:00-23:00, then 24/7, without you living on site

- Hire and train those supervisors from people who can actually run a shift

- Write the rota and the handover so B2B, B2C, and FNSKU still move when you are not there

- Cover early / late / weekend yourself while that layer does not exist yet

Who this is for

- You are an assistant / assistant manager (or equivalent) and you want the manager job for real

- You have been promoted from picker/packer, with at least one long stint at the same employer

- You have worked a small or mid-size site, mixed work, not a 200-person DC

- You think in output: orders out, labels on, pallets collected, per hour paid

- You will be on the floor when needed, and you will argue about layout if it wastes people's legs

- You can cover some early, late, and weekend shifts now, and you want to build a site that runs without a 9-5 lid on it

Who this is not for

- Senior ops managers whose last jobs were large teams and a laptop

- Anyone who will not get on the floor when the work needs it

- Anyone who wants a finished warehouse handed over on day one

- Anyone looking for London money for a Milton Keynes build

- Anyone who only wants Monday-Friday days, or who thinks manager means they never cover a gap

Pay and setup

- £40,000 a year + bonuses

- Full-time, on-site, Milton Keynes

- You and the founder build the warehouse together. He is on site for the first few months; you hold responsibility for the warehouse in its entirety

- Seven-day / extended hours is the direction of the site. Supervisors will cover the clock; you will cover gaps until they exist
