• Coordinate material availability and movement with Production, Purchasing, Quality, and Customer Service.
• Establish and improve standard work, warehouse procedures, and team workflows.
• Monitor results such as on-time shipping, order accuracy, inventory accuracy, productivity, and receiving turnaround.
• Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work area using 5S and continuous-improvement practices.
• Identify operational issues and work with other departments to resolve them.

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• At least five years of experience in warehouse, distribution, shipping and receiving, or logistics operations.
• At least three years of experience leading or supervising employees.
• Experience coordinating shipments, carriers, deliveries, or transportation.
• Strong understanding of inventory control, order fulfillment, and material flow.
• Experience using an ERP or warehouse-management system.
• Ability to use performance information to identify problems and improve processes.
• Clear communication, sound judgment, and a practical, team-focused leadership style.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Experience leading a large or multi-shift team.
• Epicor or another manufacturing ERP system experience.
• Lean, 5S, or continuous-improvement experience; Lean Six Sigma certification is a plus.
• Forklift experience or certification.
• College coursework or a degree in supply chain, logistics, business, or a related field.
