I'm currently working with a successful and growing logistics business in Inverness that is looking to appoint an experienced Nightshift Supervisor to take ownership of its overnight operation.

This is far more than a standard supervisory role. You'll be trusted to lead from the front, coordinate a busy nightshift team and ensure freight continues moving efficiently through the network. If you enjoy making decisions, solving problems and keeping operations running at their best, this could be an excellent next step in your career.

To be successful, you'll need:

A valid HGV Class 1 Licence
A valid Forklift Licence
Strong organisational and leadership skills
Confidence working within a fast-paced operational environment
Good IT skills, including experience with Microsoft systems
