Manukau, Auckland, New Zealand Frog Recruitment - Auckland Full time

Ko wai mātou | 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.

Te whiwhinga mahi | 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.

Ngā kawenga | 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

Mōhou ake | About You

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

You'll bring:

  • Proven experience as a Warehouse or DC Manager (or a strong 2IC ready to step up)
  • People leadership strength — confident managing performance and culture
  • Experience in 3PL, multi-client, or time-sensitive distribution environments
  • Strong process thinking — data-driven and proactive in identifying patterns and solutions
  • Good systems aptitude — exposure to any WMS
  • Familiarity with safety-critical environments and embedding best practice
  • Commercial awareness — understands the cost implications of layout, freight, and labour choices

Ngā painga | What's in it for You

  • Competitive $110K base salary
  • Laptop and phone provided
  • Opportunity to join an incentive scheme from year two
  • Significant career growth potential as NZ operations expand
  • Autonomy to lead, challenge, and shape your site
  • Long-term career mindset – join a leadership team with 20–30 years of shared tenure
