Tired of corporate micromanagement? Ready to take full operational ownership of a local distribution hub and light manufacturing floor?

Talent Harbor has partnered with a premier national manufacturer and distributor of high-performance architectural building materials operating a multi-state network across the U.S.

We are seeking an autonomous, hands-on Operations Supervisor to lead daily warehouse logistics, container receiving, inventory control, and light manufacturing operations at our client's facility in Honolulu, HI
.

Because the Hawaii branch operates with significant operational independence from mainland corporate headquarters,
you will serve as the primary tactical operational leader on-site. We are looking for a visible, floor-first supervisor who steps onto a facility layout and immediately identifies how to apply Lean/5S workflows to make warehouse logistics and light assembly safer, faster, and more efficient.

• Own Floor Operations: Directly lead, mentor, and coach an on-site crew of 10 to 20 hourly warehouse operators, material handlers, and machinery specialists.
• Drive Island Logistics & Distribution: Oversee container freight receiving, inventory staging, stock replenishment, and local island order fulfillment.
• Optimize Space & Workflows: Apply Lean and 5S principles to maximize warehouse storage capacity, organize staging cells, and minimize scrap/material damage.
• Master Floor Metrics: Take direct accountability for key operational KPIs, including Inventory Accuracy, Order Picking Accuracy, On-Time Delivery, and Labor Utilization.
• Oversee Assets & Equipment: Supervise preventive maintenance (PM) routines and safe operational parameters for industrial forklifts, processing machinery, and cutting tools.
• Maintain Data Discipline: Drive daily material transactions in a modern cloud-based ERP system using electronic barcoding and handheld RF scanning devices.

Note:

This position completely owns back-office warehousing, inventory, and light production logistics. Front-office administrative duties (customer invoicing and sales order entry) are managed separately.

• Frontline Leadership: 3 to 5+ years of supervisory or shift-lead experience directly within an industrial warehouse, building materials distribution center, or light manufacturing environment.
• Hands-On Leadership Style: High mechanical aptitude and a full willingness to step out of the office to operate equipment, drive a forklift, or load materials alongside the team to hit tight delivery deadlines.
• ERP & RF Scanning Discipline: Experience utilizing modern ERP inventory tracking systems and handheld RF barcode scanners for daily cycle counts and stock movements.
• Process Optimization Track Record: Demonstrated ability to implement Lean/5S improvements or warehouse reorganization that left a facility cleaner, safer, and more organized.
• Physical Capability: Comfort standing/walking on a concrete floor for extended periods and ability to safely lift up to 50 lbs.
• Reliability & Stability: A steady employment record showcasing professional reliability and local commitment.

• True Floor Autonomy: Run the local island operation like your own business with zero mainland micromanagement.
• Fully Paid for All Hours Worked: Strictly non-exempt hourly role. Any time worked past 40 hours in a week is paid at standard time-and-a-half ($51.00 – $63.00 / hour
  ).
• Industry Stability: Join a premier national network operating successfully for over 50 years (since 1974).
• Direct Growth Trajectory: Step into a critical role reporting directly to the regional General Manager.
