with planning, administration and general management issues, which will

telephone;

So, what will I actually be doing?

Helping to co-ordinate everything, from initial storage to shop dispatches, and managing both people and the overall process, the warehouse manager is an organizing machine.
Helping to store a variety of products, your job is very hands-on and involves:

Overseeing the receipt and storage of incoming items
Processing orders and planning the dispatching of products
Monitoring space and tracking stock levels
Setting aside storage areas for new stock
Planning rotas
Meeting productivity targets
Maintaining computerized admin (often in spreadsheet form)
Maintaining automated storage and retrieval systems
Recruiting, disciplining and training staff
Ensuring security arrangements are in place
Scheduling equipment maintenance and replacing when required
Ensuring products are stocked correctly and safely (especially chemicals and food, that could be pretty dangerous)

You’ll be present throughout the storage and supply process, working with clients, suppliers, quality controllers, and transport companies every step of the way to ensure nothing goes wrong.
