Interaction Recruitment are proud to be partnering with a client who are taking their business to the next level.

We’re looking for an experienced Warehouse Project Manager to play a key role in the development and launch of a brand-new warehouse facility in Peterborough.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys building something from the ground up. You’ll take ownership of the project from planning and fit-out through to operational readiness and go-live, working closely with senior leadership, contractors, suppliers and operational teams.

This is a hands-on project role where you’ll be on-site, making things happen and ensuring the new facility is ready to operate successfully.

The Role

Lead the project to develop and launch the new warehouse facility

Work closely with the Operations & Finance Director and senior stakeholders

Help shape the warehouse layout, racking, storage, goods-in/out areas and workflow

Coordinate contractors, suppliers and external partners throughout the build and fit-out

Manage project timelines, budgets, milestones and dependencies

Identify operational requirements and ensure the new facility is designed around them

Support decisions around warehouse equipment, MHE, storage solutions and capacity

Coordinate IT, warehouse systems, stock processes and operational infrastructure

Ensure H&S, risk assessments and compliance are embedded throughout the project

Plan the transition from the existing operation into the new facility

Coordinate stock movements, relocation and operational readiness ahead of go-live

Work with warehouse and stock teams to develop SOPs and processes for the new site

Support recruitment, training and team readiness where required

Manage project risks, issues and changes through to resolution

Oversee testing, snagging and final preparations ahead of launch

Act as the key link between the business, contractors and operational teams

Support the business through the bedding-in period and drive continuous improvement following launch

About You

We’re looking for someone who has genuinely managed warehouse, logistics or industrial projects and is comfortable taking ownership from concept through to completion.

You'll ideally have:

Experience managing warehouse, logistics, distribution or industrial projects

Strong project management and organisational skills

Experience with warehouse layouts, fit-outs, relocations or new-site setups

The ability to manage contractors, suppliers and multiple stakeholders

Strong Excel, data and reporting skills

Commercial awareness and experience managing budgets

Excellent communication and problem-solving skills

A practical, hands-on approach — happy to be on-site and involved, rather than purely office-based

Desirable Experience

Warehouse management or stock control background

Racking, MHE, storage systems or warehouse equipment

WMS/ERP implementation or warehouse systems

Health & safety and compliance

Taking a new facility through to operational go-live

You'll be instrumental in creating a new warehouse operation from the ground up, making key decisions around layout, infrastructure, processes and operational readiness, before seeing the project through to launch.

If you've successfully delivered a warehouse move, fit-out, expansion, relocation or new-site project and want the opportunity to make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.
