Engineer - Material Flow System

Summary

£36,000 up to £49,500 per annum (pro rata) - 47.5 hour contract.

This isn’t heavy lifting. This is controlling the system that moves pallets by itself.

From fresh fruit to frozen fish, tins of beans to bottles of pop, our customers rely on us to keep their fridges stocked and cupboards full. And as one of Britain’s leading supermarkets, we rely on over 23,000 employees to deliver this promise. Driving the process is our Logistics team. Checking products, ensuring quality, and working tirelessly to stock our 900+ stores.

As Logistics Assistant Team Manager – Material Flow System (MFS), you’ll ensure our automation installation is constantly running smoothly. Based primarily in the warehouse, you’ll run system checks, ensure the communication between our system and the conveyors are working, coordinate with all departments regarding availability and down times. And supported by your Team Manager, you’ll motivate a team to do their very best work. It’s a role that bridges skill sets, requiring both an eye for detail when ensuring our system is accurate as well as coordinating different teams to work together toward the same goal. It’s full on and fast-paced. But for an aspiring Team Manager, the rewards are great.
