Process Improvement Specialist – UK Distribution Centre
As Coloplast continues to strengthen and evolve its UK Distribution Centre, we are seeking a Process Improvement Specialist to play a key role in driving operational performance and continuous improvement. This position sits at the heart of our warehouse operations, supporting both newly implemented automation systems that are due to go live this summer and traditional warehousing activities. It’s an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys analysing how operations run, solving complex problems and making a measurable impact in a fast‑paced, high‑volume environment.
The Role -
You will be responsible for identifying, delivering and sustaining performance improvements across warehouse processes, combining data analysis with hands‑on, practical problem‑solving. Working closely with managers, analysts, team leaders and technical specialists, you will help identify, plan and implement change initiatives that improve efficiency, cost, quality and flow. A key focus will be the optimisation of automation processes, including regular reviews of system parameters, configuration settings, location utilisation, replenishment strategies, stock allocation and picking routes. You will monitor system performance, support troubleshooting activities in collaboration with Operations Technicians, and ensure improvements are documented and delivered in line with compliance, QEHS and quality standards.
We are looking for a self‑motivated, results‑driven professional with proven experience in process or continuous improvement and a strong track record of delivering change projects. You are confident using data to identify improvement opportunities and are comfortable working with ERP systems. You bring excellent communication, planning and organisational skills, a high level of attention to detail, and the ability to remain calm and professional under pressure. Experience working in logistics, supply chain or warehouse environments is important, with exposure to automated warehouse operations being highly desirable. You are flexible, adaptable and motivated by taking ownership of your area of responsibility and driving measurable improvements against KPIs.
