Warehouse Manager

About the Company

This established Australasian business supplies critical components to customers across construction, roofing, and industrial trades. With a long-tenured leadership team and major growth underway in the NZ market, they’re investing in the future – and the Auckland warehouse is central to that strategy.

The Opportunity

This is not a role for a hands-on picker or “best operator” promoted to lead. It’s a leadership position focused on people, performance, and operational maturity. You’ll take full ownership of the Manukau warehouse — leading a team of ~16 (scaling to 25), building a safety-first culture, and transforming reactive processes into efficient, customer-focused systems.

Reporting to the National Operations Manager (based in Australia), you'll lead the daily rhythm while driving long-term improvements. That includes lifting DIFOT, managing in-house and third‑party logistics, embedding safe systems of work, and preparing the site to support extended hours and higher stock depth.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, coach, and performance‑manage warehouse staff — set expectations and hold the line
• Build safety culture and ensure full compliance with training, PPE, and safe systems
• Oversee receiving, storage, picking, packing, and dispatch operations
• Optimise delivery methods (own van vs NZ Couriers, Mainstream, etc.) to meet time‑critical service promises
• Analyse delivery failures and customer complaints — fix root causes, not just symptoms
• Prepare the site for future growth and extended hours (e.g., 6am–6pm coverage)
• Partner with senior leaders, sales, and freight providers to meet operational goals

About You

We’re looking for someone who’s confident leading teams and shaping operations — not just managing the day‑to‑day.
