Periodically checking the quantity and quality of goods coming in and out of store, factory or warehouse
Creating and checking invoices and keeping records updated

Progression

Warehouse Managers can progress their careers by specialising in Health & Safety, Quality & Control, or Inventory and Distribution Control. In addition, they can also work for larger companies with more complex distribution networks.
