Working as a warehouse team leader in France
The role is not regulated, but forklift driving is: the employer must give each driver a written driving authorisation after training and a medical check, and the CACES R489 is the usual proof of training. Team leaders often have a CAP or Bac pro Logistique, a titre professionnel or internal promotion behind them; an SST first aid certificate is often appreciated. The status is usually agent de maîtrise. Spoken French is needed to brief teams and read WMS screens. Search for « chef d'équipe logistique », « chef d'équipe entrepôt », « chef d'équipe préparation » or « superviseur logistique ».
How to read these figures
The salary shown is an average, not a median: a few high salaries pull the average up. It is net pay before income tax, converted to full time.
The gross figure is an estimate: it applies 2026 employee contributions for a private-sector worker to the net salary. It leaves out bonuses, overtime and health insurance.
Salaries are from 2024 while the minimum wage is the 2026 one, so the comparison gives an order of magnitude.
