Position Overview
 The Warehouse Manager is responsible for leading day-to-day warehouse operations and material flow within GTI’s Supply Chain organization. This leader owns receiving, put-away, inventory control, storage, kitting, line-side delivery, order fulfillment, packing, shipping, and internal logistics to ensure materials move safely, accurately, and on time in support of manufacturing and customer delivery requirements.
 The Warehouse Manager provides direct supervision to warehouse personnel; maintains strong control of inventory movement and system transactions; coordinates inbound, internal, and outbound logistics; and ensures compliance with safety, quality, housekeeping, and operating procedures. This role maintains a consistent presence in the warehouse, identifies constraints early, establishes clear accountability, and drives practical improvements in space utilization, inventory accuracy, order processing, material availability, and warehouse productivity.

Key Responsibilities
 Warehouse Leadership and Staff Supervision
 Lead daily warehouse execution across receiving, put-away, storage, replenishment, kitting, staging, line-side delivery, picking, packing, and shipping, establishing clear priorities for safety, quality, labor deployment, accuracy, throughput, and service.
 Supervise, coach, and develop warehouse employees, including work assignment, shift coverage, attendance, performance expectations, skills development, and corrective action in partnership with Human Resources.
 Conduct daily shift-start meetings to review inbound and outbound priorities, manufacturing requirements, safety concerns, quality issues, staffing, inventory constraints, equipment status, and required recovery actions.
 Maintain a consistent floor presence and complete routine warehouse walkthroughs to identify safety risks, blocked aisles, inventory discrepancies, material shortages, workflow delays, housekeeping gaps, equipment concerns, and other operational issues.
 Balance labor and resources across warehouse functions based on receiving volume, production priorities, shipment schedules, employee qualifications, storage constraints, and changing customer demand.
 Create and maintain standard operating procedures, work instructions, job-specific training, qualification records, and cross-training plans that improve consistency, flexibility, and accountability.
 Warehouse Planning and Manufacturing Support
 Translate production schedules, material requirements, inbound receipts, and customer shipment priorities into executable warehouse staffing and workload plans.
 Partner with Planning, Materials, Procurement, Production, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, Maintenance, and Operations to maintain clear-to-build readiness and reliable material support.
 Review upcoming work orders, kits, shortages, inbound commitments, staging requirements, and finished-goods needs to identify warehouse constraints before they affect manufacturing or customer delivery.
 Coordinate material presentation and line-side replenishment to minimize waiting, excess handling, congestion, stockouts, and unnecessary work-in-process.
 Use ERP/MRP data, warehouse observations, inventory reports, and KPI trends to validate priorities, identify constraints, and support data-based decisions.
 Inventory Manage and Material Flow
 Oversee inventory movement from receiving and storage through staging, point-of-use delivery, production consumption, finished-goods storage, and shipment, ensuring accurate system transactions and physical traceability.
 Maintain inventory accuracy through disciplined receiving, labeling, location control, material issuance, transfers, cycle counting, reconciliation, and investigation of variances.
 Optimize warehouse layout, storage density, point-of-use locations, staging areas, and material routes to improve space utilization, accessibility, FIFO controls where applicable, and flow to production.
 Partner with Materials Planning, Production Planning, Procurement, and Production teams to identify shortages, resolve discrepancies, prioritize inbound material, and maintain line readiness.
 Control excess, obsolete, nonconforming, customer-owned, and quarantined material in accordance with company procedures and quality requirements.
 Warehouse Operations and Order Processing
