Warehouse Supervisor
Job Description
Our client, a well-established local business, is looking for a practical, systems-savvy Warehouse Supervisor to keep their warehouse running smoothly, accurately and efficiently.
This role is a genuine mix of hands-on warehouse work and warehouse administration. You'll spend part of your day on the floor picking orders and driving a forklift, and part of it at the computer managing stock in the Warehouse Management System, processing paperwork and coordinating freight.
If you're comfortable with technology, love accurate stock and well-organised systems, and are happy to roll your sleeves up when it's busy, we'd love to hear from you.
The Role
You'll be working as part of a small team. Your responsibilities will include:
Systems & Administration
Using the Warehouse Management System (WMS) to manage inventory, stock locations and movements
Receipting inbound stock into the system and processing outbound orders and dispatches
Maintaining accurate stock levels and investigating variances
Coordinating inbound and outbound freight, including bookings and dispatch documentation
Data input for incoming product lines
Keeping warehouse records, paperwork and data accurate and up to date
Identifying ways to improve warehouse processes, systems and reporting
Warehouse Operations
Picking, packing and dispatching customer orders
Loading and unloading trucks and operating a forklift
Receiving and putting stock away
Overseeing the daily warehouse operation and supporting a small team
Keeping the warehouse clean, organised and safe, and ensuring Health & Safety procedures are followed
Pitching in wherever required to keep things running efficiently
What We're Looking For
Previous warehouse experience, ideally including warehouse administration or inventory control
Strong computer skills and confidence learning new systems
Experience using a Warehouse Management System (WMS)
Good knowledge of stock control and accurate record keeping
Confidence with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel
Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail
Some experience supervising or supporting a small team
A positive, hands-on attitude and good work ethic
A forklift licence
A full New Zealand driver licence
Full working rights in New Zealand
Experience with ERP systems or MPI Transitional Facility requirements would be beneficial but is not essential.
What's on Offer
A varied role combining systems, administration and hands-on warehouse work
A stable, full-time permanent position with a well-established local business
Small, friendly team environment
Competitive salary based on experience
Supportive management and a positive workplace culture
Opportunity to grow with the business and help shape its warehouse systems and processes
If you're an experienced warehouse professional with strong systems and admin skills who takes pride in accurate stock and a well-run warehouse, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today. All applications will be treated confidentially.
