Interim Project Manager Job in Sheffield, Yorkshire UK
Northern HQ - UK-wide travel.
Our client is a UK wide distribution business serving the construction and buildings sector via a national network of depots.
As part of an efficiency strategy, process improvement drive and further integration of acquired businesses the company is rolling out an ERP system of which Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) are a part.
This role will report to the Director of Logistics and Distribution and will take responsibility for the WMS project and represent Logistics at Group level. Key responsibilities will be to ensure WMS gets appropriate resources from Group PMO and training as well as the planning and execution of the implementation on a site by site basis (business analysis already completed). Representation at a local depot level to understand specific implementation and training needs will form a major part of this role. A broad understanding of WMS and a background in logistics, distribution and warehousing will be essential.
The project manager is expected to have a significant experience of WMS and to bring this understanding to bare on the implementation in terms of anticipating points of failure / best practice to ensure the roll out is a success. Technical knowledge of WMS is therefore essential.
