Night Shift Manager

About Shepherd Electric Supply Since 1892, Shepherd Electric Supply has been the first call when complex, time‑critical electrical challenges need to be solved and reliability truly matters.

The Warehouse Manager – Night Shift is the operational backbone of the Laurel warehouse after hours. Every fill rate, every accurate outbound order, and every clean handoff to the day team traces back to how well this operation runs and how well this leader leads it. This is not a floor supervisor role with a bigger title; it is the role responsible for running a warehouse operation—shipping, receiving, inventory control, and team execution—under high volume, tight staffing, and zero margin for error.

The day shift inherits what you build. You set the standard, develop the team, and own the outcomes, not just on the easy nights but on the hard ones.

• Monday – Friday, 7:00 am – 4:00 pm or depending on business needs.

• The expected base salary for this position is between $60,000 and $75,000 annually, depending on experience.

We Keep Our Promises: You own shift outcomes. If something is off—inventory gap, late shipment, unsafe condition—you address it before it becomes someone else’s problem. The night shift does not slow down because leadership is not watching.
We Stay Hungry: You are always asking what could be faster, cleaner, or more reliable. You surface patterns, not just incidents, and push for root cause over quick fixes.
We Grow Together: Your team grows because you invest in it. You develop your Warehouse Lead as a successor, not a helper. Cross‑shift consistency is part of your ownership.
We Own It: You hold yourself accountable first. You do not manage through excuses. When a process fails, you redesign it—without blaming the people running it.
We Go Above & Beyond: You anticipate before the ask. The day shift inherits a clean, accurate, ready operation. Nothing is left unresolved for someone else to untangle.
