Assistant Warehouse Manager - Now Hiring

Assistant Warehouse Manager

NU Packaging, Inc. | Salt Lake City, UT (906 S 4400 W, SLC, UT 84104)

Full-Time | Non-Exempt | Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:00 PM

The Opportunity

NU Packaging is hiring an Assistant Warehouse Manager to support our Warehouse Manager in running the day-to-day heartbeat of our operation — receiving, storage, picking, packing, and shipping. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives on keeping a fast-paced warehouse organized, safe, and productive, and who wants real influence over inventory accuracy, order fulfillment, and team performance.

What makes this role stand out:

• Real leadership impact from day one — supervise, mentor and motivate your warehouse team, set the pace and impeccable quality-standards for daily/weekly/monthly performance targets, and help shape a safety-first, accountable team culture.
• Ownership over inventory operations — partner directly with the Warehouse Manager and Purchasing to maintain optimal stock levels, run cycle counts, and resolve discrepancies before they become problems.
• Direct line to results — oversee order fulfillment end-to-end, ensuring Utah businesses get accurate, on-time shipments that keep our next-day delivery reputation intact.
• Growth within a stable, established company — join a 25+ year local institution with long-tenured employees and a clear reporting structure (you'll report to our Warehouse Manager), giving you visibility and experience as you grow.

What You'll Do

• Assist in planning, scheduling, and directing all warehouse activities (receiving, storage, picking, packing, shipping)
• Oversee and delegate tasks to warehouse personnel while leading safety protocols and company procedures
• Lead and motivate the team to hit daily, weekly, and monthly performance and quality targets
• Maintain optimal inventory levels of packaging supplies and maximize storage space utilization
• Conduct/participate in periodic cycle counts and investigate discrepancies promptly
• Oversee accurate, efficient, and timely order fulfillment, prioritizing based on urgency and delivery deadlines
• Proactively resolve fulfillment issues (stock shortages, backorders) with customer service and sales
• Enforce safety regulations, conduct regular safety inspections, and train staff on safety protocols and equipment operation
• Maintain a clean, organized, and secure warehouse environment
• Prepare and communicate accurate warehouse activity reports (inventory levels, fulfillment times)

What You Bring

• High school diploma required
• Strong attention to detail, time management, and problem-solving skills
• Customer/vendor-focused mindset and solid analytical and technical proficiency
• Comfort with data entry and digital tools
• Ability to lift and carry up to 50 lbs. and work effectively in a fast-paced, loud warehouse environment
• Regular and predictable attendance

Benefits — We Invest in You and Your Family

NU Packaging offers a comprehensive benefits package designed to support you and the people who matter most to you:

• Employer contributions toward your health plan — we help offset the cost of you and your family’s medical coverage
• Dental and vision coverage for you and your family — protecting the whole household, not just the employee
• Term life insurance — built-in financial protection and peace of mind
