Logistics Manager – Southampton

Location: Southampton

Job Type: Full-time

Salary: £37,000–£40,000 + Benefits

Are you a driven individual looking to be part of a fast growing business with huge growth plans?

You will be working within some really exciting markets such as aerospace, formula one racing cars, engineering, oil and gas and pharmaceuticals.

Our client works within the metal industry. Metal is absolutely everywhere and is a necessity not a luxury, so a great market to be working within.

Mirable’s client is looking for a confident, energetic and forward-thinking Logistics Manager to join their Southampton operation.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone with strong people-management experience who wants real ownership, autonomy and scope to grow. You do not need to be the finished article, but you do need to bring drive, confidence, personality and the ability to lead a team in a fast-paced operational environment.

The Role:

You will take responsibility for the day-to-day running of a busy warehouse and logistics operation, leading a team of around 16 people and helping to drive performance, service levels and continuous improvement.

The successful candidate will be someone who enjoys getting stuck in, building relationships with different personalities, challenging the status quo and bringing fresh ideas to the table.

Key Responsibilities of a Logistic Manager:

Lead, motivate and develop warehouse and logistics teams

Manage daily warehouse, stock, dispatch and distribution activity

Improve processes, service levels and operational performance

Monitor KPIs and identify opportunities to increase efficiency

Manage team performance confidently and constructively

Support training, workforce planning and team development

Ensure health & safety standards are maintained

Work closely with other departments to meet customer expectations

Take ownership of operational challenges and drive solutions

What We’re Looking For in a Logistics Manager:

At least 2 years’ experience leading or managing a team

Experience in a warehouse, logistics, distribution, retail operations or similar fast-paced operational environment

Strong people-management skills and confidence dealing with different characters

A proactive, positive and improvement-focused mindset

The ability to work with autonomy and take ownership

Strong communication and problem-solving skills

A genuine passion for leading teams and improving performance

A coachable attitude and willingness to learn the business

Formal logistics qualifications, CPC knowledge or warehouse licences would be beneficial, but they are not essential. Attitude, leadership potential and drive are the priority.

Why Apply?

This is more than a standard warehouse management role. Mirable’s client is looking for someone who can grow with the business, take on increasing responsibility and become a key part of the future leadership team.

For the right person, there is genuine scope to expand the role further across transport, wider operational support and long-term progression.
