Ready to take full operational ownership of a local distribution hub and light manufacturing floor? Talent Harbor has partnered with a premier national manufacturer and distributor of high-performance architectural building materials operating a multi-state network across the U.S. We are seeking an autonomous, hands-on Operations Supervisor to lead daily warehouse logistics, container receiving, inventory control, and light manufacturing operations at our client's facility in Honolulu, HI . Because the Hawaii branch operates with significant operational independence from mainland corporate headquarters, you will serve as the primary tactical operational leader on-site. We are looking for a visible, floor-first supervisor who steps onto a facility layout and immediately identifies how to apply Lean/5S workflows to make warehouse logistics and light assembly safer, faster, and more efficient. What You’ll Do Day-to-Day Own Floor Operations: Directly lead, mentor, and coach an on-site crew of 10 to 20 hourly warehouse operators, material handlers, and machinery specialists. Drive Island Logistics & Distribution: Oversee container freight receiving, inventory staging, stock replenishment, and local island order fulfillment. Optimize Space & Workflows: Apply Lean and 5S principles to maximize warehouse storage capacity, organize staging cells, and minimize scrap/material damage. Master Floor Metrics: Take direct accountability for key operational KPIs, including Inventory Accuracy, Order Picking Accuracy, On-Time Delivery, and Labor Utilization. Oversee Assets & Equipment: Supervise preventive maintenance (PM) routines and safe operational parameters for industrial forklifts, processing machinery, and cutting tools. Maintain Data Discipline: Drive daily material transactions in a modern cloud-based ERP system using electronic barcoding and handheld RF scanning devices. Note: This position completely owns back-office warehousing, inventory, and light production logistics. Front-office administrative duties (customer invoicing and sales order entry) are managed separately. What We’re Looking For Frontline Leadership: 3 to 5+ years of supervisory or shift-lead experience directly within an industrial warehouse, building materials distribution center, or light manufacturing environment. Hands-On Leadership Style: High mechanical aptitude and a full willingness to step out of the office to operate equipment, drive a forklift, or load materials alongside the team to hit tight delivery deadlines. ERP & RF Scanning Discipline: Experience utilizing modern ERP inventory tracking systems and handheld RF barcode scanners for daily cycle counts and stock movements. Process Optimization Track Record: Demonstrated ability to implement Lean/5S improvements or warehouse reorganization that left a facility cleaner, safer, and more organized. Physical Capability: Comfort standing/walking on a concrete floor for extended periods and ability to safely lift up to 50 lbs. Reliability & Stability: A steady employment record showcasing professional reliability and local commitment. Why You Should Apply True Floor Autonomy: Run the local island operation like your own business with zero mainland micromanagement. Fully Paid for All Hours Worked: Strictly non-exempt hourly role. Any time worked past 40 hours in a week is paid at standard time-and-a-half ( $51.00 – $63.00 / hour ). Industry Stability: Join a premier national network operating successfully for over 50 years (since 1974). Direct Growth Trajectory: Step into a critical role reporting directly to the regional General Manager. #J-18808-Ljbffr
