About the Job

Warehouse Manager at Bright Event Rentals isn't a behind-the-desk role. It's a hands-on leadership position for someone who thrives in a physical, fast-moving environment and takes real pride in running a tight operation. You'll lead a team of warehouse team members, own the condition and readiness of our rental inventory, and make sure every truck leaves on time and every item comes back accounted for. When event season hits full stride, you're the reason things don't fall apart.

This role sits at the intersection of people leadership, logistics, and operational execution. If you're energized by solving problems on the fly, building strong teams, and seeing the direct result of your work — this is the job.

What You’ll Do

• Direct the daily operations of the warehouse, including inbound and outbound equipment flow, staging, and yard organization.
• Lead, schedule, and develop a team of warehouse team members, setting expectations, coaching performance, and building accountability into the culture.
• Ensure all rental inventory is inspected, cleaned, repaired, and event-ready at all times.
• Maintain a safe, organized, and efficiently run warehouse environment that meets company standards.
• Oversee crew scheduling and timekeeping to match operational demands, including peak event periods.
• Collaborate with operations and logistics leadership to align warehouse output with delivery schedules and event timelines.
• Monitor inventory levels and equipment condition; escalate maintenance needs and flag discrepancies early.
• Enforce safety protocols and company policies and model the behavior you expect from your team.
• Identify inefficiencies and drive continuous improvement across warehouse processes and workflows.
• Handle team performance matters directly, including coaching conversations, corrective action, and recognition.
