Warehouse Manager

GREAT PRODUCTIONS START WITH GREAT PREPARATION. Behind every great show, there’s a team that makes it happen. And behind every well-run warehouse, there’s a leader who knows how to bring people, planning and processes together. At Creative Technology Middle East (CTME), we’re looking for a Warehouse Manager who knows how to bring people, planning and processes together to deliver exceptional results. This is not simply about managing stock. It’s about leading the warehouse operation that keeps our productions moving. You’ll be responsible for the day-to-day management of our warehouse across Live Events and Systems Integration, making sure equipment is prepared, dispatched and returned efficiently, accurately and safely. Your mission? Build a well-organised, high-performing warehouse operation where teams know what’s expected, equipment moves seamlessly and potential problems are addressed before they affect project delivery. If you’re a hands-on leader who enjoys improving how things work and takes pride in getting things right, we’d love to hear from you. WHY CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY – MIDDLE EAST? Because we’re not in the business of doing ordinary. We’re part of a global network of creative technology specialists delivering cutting-edge audio-visual solutions across the live events industry. From major productions to technically complex projects, our success depends on the people working behind the scenes. Your work will make a difference. The way you manage warehouse operations will directly influence equipment availability, project timelines and the successful delivery of our productions. Global scale. Local impact. Be part of a market-leading specialist AV business connected across the Middle East, USA, Europe and Asia, while making a meaningful impact on our regional operations. Lead from the front. Take ownership of the warehouse, set clear priorities, guide your team and create an environment built on accountability, teamwork and consistent standards. Help us work smarter. We’re not looking for someone to simply maintain existing processes. We want someone who will challenge how things are done, identify opportunities for improvement and introduce practical solutions that make our warehouse more efficient. WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU? Real ownership. Take responsibility for warehouse planning, team performance, equipment movements and day-to-day operational delivery. The opportunity to lead. Manage, support and develop your team while creating a positive, structured and accountable working environment. A voice in operational decisions. Work closely with Projects, Technical, Assets and Transport & Logistics teams to influence warehouse priorities and improve coordination. The opportunity to make things better. Improve workflows, introduce stronger controls and develop practical procedures that make a measurable difference. Variety and challenge. Work in a fast-moving live events environment where priorities change and no two weeks are exactly the same. Work that matters. Your contribution will help reduce unnecessary overtime, improve equipment turnaround, strengthen stock accuracy and ensure our teams are ready to deliver. WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING? You’ll take ownership of the daily and weekly warehouse operation, ensuring our people, equipment and processes are aligned with business requirements. Your responsibilities will include: • Leading and managing warehouse activities across Live Events and Systems Integration. • Planning daily and weekly warehouse workloads using EasyJob, project forecasts and available resources. • Overseeing picking, staging, loading, dispatch and equipment returns. • Managing warehouse teams, allocating tasks and monitoring performance. • Maintaining accurate inventory movements, barcode scanning and warehouse documentation. • Ensuring equipment is correctly checked, recorded and ready before dispatch. • Improving equipment returns processing, turnaround times and stock accuracy. • Working closely with Prep Managers, Technical teams, Assets and Transport & Logistics to ensure smooth handovers. • Planning external labour requirements and managing resources efficiently to reduce unnecessary overtime and weekend working. • Managing warehouse operational expenditure within agreed budgets. • Developing and improving warehouse standard operating procedures (SOPs) and working practices. • Maintaining a safe, clean and well-organised warehouse environment. • Identifying operational risks, addressing recurring issues and driving continuous improvement. YOU’LL PROBABLY LOVE THIS ROLE IF… You enjoy bringing structure to a busy environment and making sure things run as they should. You’re not someone who manages from behind a desk. You like being involved, understanding what’s happening on the warehouse floor and supporting your team when it matters. You can look ahead, anticipate challenges and make decisions before small issues turn into bigger problems. You’re confident setting expectations, holding people accountable and making sure processes are followed consistently. You understand that an organised warehouse isn’t just about tidy shelves. It’s about having the right equipment ready, accurate information and a team that works together. And most importantly, you take pride in leaving things better than you found them. WHAT WILL MAKE YOU STAND OUT? We’re looking for someone who brings strong warehouse management experience, excellent organisational skills and the confidence to lead a busy team. Ideally, you’ll have: • Proven experience managing a busy warehouse operation with competing priorities and tight deadlines. • Strong people management and leadership skills, with the ability to motivate teams and maintain consistent standards. • Excellent planning, organisation and prioritisation skills. • Experience using warehouse management systems, ERP platforms and barcode scanning processes. • The ability to manage inventory movements, equipment dispatch and returns accurately. • Strong communication skills and the confidence to work across different departments. • A structured, methodical approach with excellent attention to detail. • Good working knowledge of Excel and operational reporting systems. • A strong understanding of workplace health and safety practices. • Fluency in written and spoken English. • A valid driving licence and access to a car. • Flexibility to work according to the demands of the live events industry. Experience within the live events, AV or equipment rental industry would be particularly valuable. But experience alone isn’t everything. We’re looking for someone who leads by example, takes ownership, brings solutions rather than problems and understands that great warehouse operations are built on great teamwork.
