If you love the chaos before it becomes chaos, and you’re the kind of person who can look at a messy material flow and instantly see the fix, this role is your playground. We’re looking for a Material Flow Supervisor who can own the movement of materials from the dock to the production line with zero drama and maximum precision. You’ll lead our warehouse/materials crew, keep inventory tight, and make sure Production never has to wonder where their parts are.

• Lead, coach, and develop the warehouse/material flow team. Set the bar high and hold the team to it.
• Assign daily work, keep pace and accuracy where they need to be, and make safety non-negotiable.
• Support hiring, onboarding, mentoring, and performance conversations.
• Oversee receiving, put-away, staging, replenishment, and every internal material movement.
• Make sure materials hit the line on time, in the right quantities, and in usable condition.
• Keep the warehouse clean, organized, compliant, and ready for audits at any moment.
• Run cycle counts, reconcile the weird stuff, and drive corrective actions that actually stick.
• Ensure ERP transactions are clean, timely, and accurate.
• Track material risks and shortages like a hawk, and elevate before anyone else sees the problem.
• Work tightly with Production, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Quality to solve issues fast.
• Communicate material flow status clearly and honestly, especially when there’s impact to the schedule.
• Standardize and continuously improve our material handling, labeling, routing, and replenishment processes.

• 2–3 years leading a materials/warehouse/logistics team.
• 3–5 years in shipping/receiving, inventory control, scheduling, or logistics.
• Hands‑on manufacturing experience, bonus if you’ve lived in a high‑mix/low‑volume world.
• Forklift certification (or the ability to get one immediately).
• Strong grasp of inventory control, FIFO, cycle counting, and material flow basics that aren’t basic.
• Comfortable in an ERP, disciplined about data integrity.
• Solid communicator, problem‑solver, and calm operator under pressure.
• Organized, detail‑oriented, able to juggle competing priorities without losing the thread.
• Familiarity with Lean, 5S, and standard work.

• Manufacturing/warehouse setting. Lots of standing, walking, and material handling.
• Ability to lift up to 45 lbs. with or without assistance.

Reach out to HR and your manager before applying. This is a chance to step up, shape the flow of our entire operation, and help build the kind of material system we can scale.
