Job Title: Warehouse Manager
Job Description
This role leads a small warehouse team in a growing distribution operation focused on hydraulic fittings and hoses. The Warehouse Manager plans, organizes, and directs daily warehouse activities while working hands-on alongside the team. This position ensures accurate inventory control, efficient order fulfillment, and safe material handling, while continuously improving processes through Lean and Six Sigma principles.
Responsibilities
Lead, manage, and supervise a warehouse team of approximately 6 to 10 employees, providing daily direction, coaching, and support.
Plan and organize warehouse operations to ensure timely loading and unloading of trucks, accurate order picking, and efficient shipment processing.
Work actively on the warehouse floor with the team, assisting with loading and unloading trucks, preparing and making shipments, and logging inventory transactions.
Coordinate daily with the Operations Manager to align warehouse activities with overall operational and business needs.
Communicate directly with external customers regarding shipments, schedules, and any issues affecting delivery or order fulfillment.
Perform computer-based inventory management using ERP or warehouse management systems, including data entry, stock adjustments, and reporting.
Monitor inventory levels and replenish stock as needed to prevent shortages and maintain accurate on-hand quantities.
Oversee inventory control processes, including cycle counts, reconciliations, and root cause analysis of discrepancies.
Ensure safe and efficient operation of forklifts and other material handling equipment, and enforce safety procedures at all times.
Implement and promote Lean, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement initiatives such as Kaizen to optimize warehouse layout, workflows, and productivity.
Develop, document, and refine warehouse procedures and systems, encouraging new ideas and process improvements from the team.
Train warehouse employees in proper picking, packing, shipping, inventory control, and equipment operation practices.
Maintain a clean, organized, and efficient warehouse environment that supports accurate order fulfillment and safe operations.
Support supply chain and distribution activities by ensuring orders are processed correctly and shipped on time.
Monitor team performance, set expectations, and provide feedback to foster strong communication, accountability, and teamwork.
Adapt to changing workload demands, including staying later when needed to complete afternoon work orders and supporting overtime as required.
Required Skills
At least 2+ years of warehouse management experience leading and supervising warehouse teams.
Approximately 10+ years of overall warehouse experience in distribution or related environments.
Lean Six Sigma Certification, such as Green Belt or Black Belt, with practical experience applying Lean and Six Sigma tools.
Proficiency with computer inventory systems and ERP or warehouse management systems (including platforms such as SAP or similar).
Strong leadership experience with proven ability to plan, organize, and manage warehouse operations and personnel.
Extensive forklift experience and comfort operating material handling equipment in a busy warehouse environment.
Strong communication skills with the ability to train, coach, and motivate a warehouse team.
Bilingual fluency in English and Spanish.
Why Work Here?
You will join a stable and consistently busy operation that values initiative, ownership, and continuous improvement. The culture encourages go-getters who are not afraid to design and implement new systems when they make sense, rather than simply following the status quo. You will work in a small, personal environment with a tight-knit team where your ideas are welcomed and your contributions are visible. As the warehouse continues to grow, you will have the opportunity to shape processes, influence how the operation runs, and be recognized for your impact.
Work Environment
The role is based in a smaller, open-air warehouse that is not climate controlled, so temperatures will vary and can be hot or cold depending on the season.
The team currently includes about six people, creating a close, collaborative, and supportive atmosphere where new processes and ideas are encouraged and welcomed.
The standard schedule is first shift, typically 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with occasional extended days when afternoon work orders require extra time.
Opportunities for additional hours are available through Saturday and overtime sign-up.
The dress code includes steel-toe footwear, jeans, and a work shirt; once acclimated, wearing shorts is acceptable, especially during warmer months.
