• Partner closely with the Operations Manager to ensure the new facility is fully operational, efficient, and aligned with company requirements.
• Communicate project updates, risks, and resource needs to leadership.

• Provide front‑line leadership, supervision, and coordination of warehouse employees involved in receiving, storing, inventorying, picking, palletizing, and loading products.
• Oversee administrative and logistical support for all outgoing shipments.
• Develop short‑and long‑term strategies to optimize warehouse efficiency and engage the team in continuous improvement.
• Maintain clear, positive communication with employees, managers, vendors, and customers.
• Ensure operational quality and productivity standards are met in a cost‑effective manner.
• Enforce proper equipment use, safety protocols, and housekeeping standards.
• Coach, mentor, and support employee development through performance management.
• Identify and recommend supply chain cost‑saving opportunities.
• Develop and oversee training programs for new employees and ensure all staff maintain required certifications.
• Investigate and resolve issues including damaged product, inventory discrepancies, and quality concerns; implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
• Troubleshoot shipping and receiving issues and ensure timely resolution.
• Maintain a regular presence on the warehouse floor, with the ability to lift up to 50 lbs as needed.
• Operate forklifts and light manufacturing/assembly equipment when necessary.

• Bachelor’s degree preferred; equivalent experience will be considered.
• Minimum of ten years of supervisory experience in warehouse or distribution operations.
• Demonstrated leadership skills with a strong ability to coach, direct, and develop employees.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office; experience using MRP/ERP systems is required.
