About Showbase

Showbase delivers large-scale temporary and semi-permanent structures for hospitality, events and live projects across the UK. Our projects rely on well-run warehouse operations, disciplined asset control and consistent preparation standards.

We are seeking a strong, hands-on Warehouse Manager to take ownership of our warehouse performance, stock control and yard organisation, picking, packing, prepping and loading to ensure every project leaves fully prepared and installation-ready.

The Role

This is a hands-on role with full responsibility for the day-to-day performance of our warehouse and yard operations.

You will oversee preparation, dispatch, returns and maintenance, ensuring our specialist structural components, event kit, tools and plant are organised, maintained and issued to site in full working order. This is not general palletised stock – it includes marquee systems, power and lighting equipment and event infrastructure – and requires a confident technical understanding of construction  components and facilities kit.

You will lead the warehouse team directly, setting clear standards around organisation, efficiency, asset care and accountability.

As we continue to strengthen our warehouse systems and asset control processes, you will work closely with the Operations Manager to support improvements. You will be expected to provide practical input, adapt to new processes and help embed higher operational standards across the team.

Key Responsibilities

  •  Take full responsibility for day-to-day warehouse and yard operations.
  • Lead and direct warehouse staff, setting clear standards for organisation, preparation and asset care.
  • Oversee picking, preparation and dispatch of specialist structural components, tools and event infrastructure.
  • Manage returns, inspection and maintenance processes to ensure equipment is kept in safe, working condition.
  • Maintain accurate stock and asset control across marquee systems, power, lighting and general event kit.
  • Ensure the warehouse and yard remain organised, safe and operationally efficient.
  • Support the implementation of improved systems and processes in collaboration with the Operations Manager.
  • Reduce loss, damage and avoidable site issues through disciplined handling and storage.
  • Ensure H&S compliance across all warehouse and yard activities.

Required Experience & Skills

  • Proven experience managing a warehouse or yard operation within construction, events, staging, modular builds or a similar asset-heavy environment.

  • Strong working knowledge of structural components, tools, plant and temporary works materials.

  • Experience leading and directing warehouse teams with clear accountability and standards.

  • Confident maintaining stock accuracy and asset control in a fast-moving operation.

  • Practical understanding of maintenance, inspection and equipment care.

  • Comfortable contributing to process improvements and adapting to strengthened systems.

  • Organised, disciplined and solutions-focused.

  • Forklift and/or Moffet trained.

  • Full UK driving licence required.

  • Flatbed trailer (4×4 towed) driving experience desirable.

Additional Benefits

  • Supported training and relevant qualifications (e.g. IOSH, forklift, first aid).

  • Clear opportunity to increase responsibility within the Operations function.

  • On-site parking at our farm-based HQ.
