About the Role
Our client is seeking an experienced Night Sortation / Operations Manager to lead and oversee overnight operations at their logistics hub in Swords. This is a key leadership role responsible for ensuring parcels are accurately sorted, routed, and processed to meet next-day delivery commitments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage the night sortation process to ensure parcels are processed efficiently and accurately for the next day’s delivery cycle.

  • Lead, supervise, and develop night shift staff, including sorters, forklift operators, and other overnight personnel.

  • Monitor operational performance metrics such as throughput, accuracy, and cost efficiency, driving continuous improvement initiatives.

  • Ensure compliance with health & safety regulations, particularly around manual handling and heavy machinery.

  • Use warehouse and sortation systems (WMS/WCS) to track operations, manage exceptions, and report performance to senior management.

  • Coordinate effectively with day-shift teams to ensure smooth handover and operational alignment.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in logistics, warehousing, or parcel operations, ideally in a supervisory or management role.

  • Strong leadership, team development, and communication skills.

  • Knowledge of health & safety standards relevant to warehousing and sortation environments.

  • Ability to analyse operational data to improve performance and efficiency.

  • Third-level education in logistics, supply chain, business, or related field is desirable but not essential — relevant experience is highly valued.

This is a pivotal role in the night operations of a busy logistics hub. You will have the opportunity to lead a dedicated team, improve operational efficiency, and make a tangible impact on service delivery.
