Shipping, Receiving & Warehouse Supervisor

The Shipping, Receiving & Warehouse Supervisor leads PRIER's warehouse and distribution operation, directing a team of receiving, shipping, and inventory personnel across a full first shift and a split-second shift. This role owns the accurate, on-time shipment of sales orders to a diverse customer base — retail, wholesale/warehouse distributors, direct customers, and e-commerce — while ensuring incoming raw material is received accurately and disbursed to production in a just-in-time (JIT) manner.

The Supervisor is accountable for raw material (RM) and finished goods (FG) inventory accuracy, cycle counts, and reconciliations, and serves as the last quality checkpoint before product reaches the customer.

Working closely with the Traffic & Logistics Specialist, this position helps manage freight contracts and carrier relationships, balancing quality, service, and cost across every shipment — including domestic and international freight, customs documentation, brokers, and consolidators. The Supervisor coordinates 3PL partners, interplant transfers, and cross-site distribution center alignment, and interacts daily with Customer Service, Production, Quality, and Training. Success in this role requires a strong grounding in lean management principles and the ability to mentor, engage, and develop a high-performing warehouse team.
