Shift leader

Why this role matters

Take the lead and make an impact at GXO in Oss

We are looking for a Shift Leader to join our Warehouse Team at our site in Oss. Are you a people-focused leader who knows how to motivate, coach and guide a team in a fast-paced warehouse environment? Do you combine a hands-on approach with the ability to make decisions, solve problems and drive results? If you are ready to take ownership of daily operations and help your team perform at its best, we would like to hear from you.
As Shift Leader, you will oversee the operation during your shift, working closely with Team Leaders, coordinators and other stakeholders. You will keep a clear overview of capacity, productivity, safety and performance, while creating the conditions for your people to succeed.

How you'll make an impact

•    Lead, motivate, coach and develop Team Leaders, coordinators and warehouse colleagues, building a strong, engaged and high-performing team.
•    Discuss operational priorities with colleagues and ensure a clear and effective handover between shifts.
•    Instruct Team Leaders to start the shift kick-off and ensure that teams understand priorities, targets and expectations.
•    Monitor capacity across the department and, together with Team Leaders and coordinators, track productivity and performance across the different areas.
•    Guide Team Leaders and coordinators in building effective teams, addressing challenges and removing operational bottlenecks.
•    Lead work meetings and conduct absence-related conversations, supporting attendance and employee engagement.
•    Assess employee performance and manage leave requests, timesheets and the quality of work delivered during your shift.
•    Ensure that operations are carried out safely and in line with logistical planning, procedures and agreed KPIs.
•    Identify problems and bottlenecks, find practical solutions and initiate improvements, including opportunities related to mechanization.
•    Take responsibility for a complete and accurate end-of-shift handover.

What you'll bring to GXO

•    A college-level qualification; a logistics-related education is preferred.
•    Experience in a similar position as a teamlead or a shiftleader in a warehouse or logistics environment.
•    Strong people-management skills and the ability to motivate, coach and empower a large team.
•    Fluent English communication skills; Dutch is an advantage but not a requirement.
•    A decisive, results-oriented approach, with strong communication and problem-solving skills.
•    A strong sense of ownership and accountability, combined with the ability to work collaboratively.
•    Experience with change management and the ability to guide teams through operational changes.
•    Good stakeholder-management skills and the ability to build effective working relationships.
•    A strong focus on safety, quality, productivity and continuous improvement.
•    The flexibility and willingness to work in shifts.
•    Experience working with mechanized warehouse operations is a strong advantage.

What's in it for you

•    A responsible leadership role within the warehouse of a large and reputable retail customer.
•    A competitive salary, plus shift allowance.
•    A dynamic working environment where your ideas and initiative are valued.
•    The opportunity to take ownership of operational results and contribute to continuous improvement.
•    Support for your personal and professional development within an international organization.
•    A varied role where no two shifts are the same, alongside committed colleagues in logistics.
