Metallurgical Logistics & Fulfillment Supervisor

Transform a high-velocity metals warehouse into a benchmark for operational excellence

In this role, you’ll orchestrate production and warehouse operations with a mandate for safety, continuous improvement, impeccable quality, customer fulfillment, and cost discipline. Just as important, you’ll foster an environment where people feel safe, supported, and motivated to grow—fueling strong morale and performance.

Imagine This Scenario

A rush order drops. You’ve already published up-to-date equipment lead-times, so Sales knows what’s realistic. You and Production Planning adjust the schedule, verify equipment availability and inspections, and clear potential bottlenecks. The team pulls inventory with exact heat lot traceability, packages to spec for damage-free delivery, and ships on time. Meanwhile, your KPI board shows daily metrics trending up, thanks to Lean/5S and CI projects you launched with the CI Manager.

That’s a day done right.
