Summary We are seeking a highly skilled, dynamic, and rigorous Warehouse Supervisor to lead our material logistics and inventory operations. In this role, you will oversee a high-velocity, high-value inventory exceeding $50M, comprising critical components, raw materials, and advanced sub-assemblies for cutting-edge energy infrastructure, power grid, and medium-voltage distribution equipment sourced from both domestic and international suppliers. The ideal candidate will manage an expanding, multi-shift plant operation. The plant will operate 2 daily shifts with the flexibility to scale into a 3-shift continuous operation, including weekends. You will directly oversee a dedicated warehouse and materials team (comprising Material Handlers, Receiving Clerks, and Shipping/Logistics personnel) ensuring seamless material flow, flawless inventory accuracy, and optimal labor utilization. What You’ll Do Inventory & Materials Management High-Value Stewardship: Oversee the end-to-end integrity of a complex component and raw material inventory valued at $50M+, implementing strict controls to prevent shrinkage, damage, or discrepancies. Inbound & International Logistics: Coordinate the receipt of specialized domestic and international freight, managing custom electronics, heavy raw materials, and high-complexity components. Production Line Feeding & Staging: Ensure accurate, just-in-time (JIT) material staging, "milk runs," and kitting to assembly lines to support aggressive production schedules while mitigating line stoppage risks. Quality & Traceability Controls: Enforce strict FIFO (First-In, First-Out), material segregation, shelf-life validation, and specific environmental/handling storage requirements for sensitive electrical sub-assemblies. Cycle Counting & Material Control: Lead robust cycle counting programs, laydown yard reconciliations, and physical inventories, maintaining a target inventory accuracy rate of 99.5% or higher. Operations, Labor, & Shift Leadership Multi-Shift Coverage & Scalability: Manage and synchronize warehouse operations across 2 daily shifts including weekends, with the operational readiness to transition into a 24/7, 3-shift model as production dictates. Team Supervision: Directly supervise, coach, develop, and schedule a dedicated plant logistics headcount (including 8+ Material Handlers, Receiving Clerks, and Shipping/Logistics personnel). Manage attendance, timekeeping, and active floor performance. Cross-Functional Communication: Partner closely with Production Planning, Quality Assurance, Procurement, and Assembly supervisors to quickly resolve material bottlenecks, receipt discrepancies, or damaged goods. Shipping & Final Dispatch: Oversee the safe loading, blocking, bracing, and dispatch of heavy, high-complexity, and mission-critical industrial equipment, ensuring compliance with specialized domestic and international transport requirements. Safety, Quality, & Systems Safety Leadership: Enforce strict compliance with OSHA regulations, heavy material handling safety protocols, overhead crane/rigging constraints, and proper PPE usage tailored to heavy industrial equipment manufacturing. Lead incident investigation and root-cause analysis for close-calls or near-misses. Systems Execution (Oracle & 42Q MES): Utilize Oracle ERP alongside 42Q MES to accurately execute real-time material movements, track dock-to-stock times, and manage stock locations. Leverage barcode/scanning interfaces to maintain flawless digital component traceability and ensure component serialization data aligns perfectly with production consumption. Continuous Improvement: Drive 5S methodology and lean warehousing practices to optimize layout density, minimize material travel motions, reduce waste, and maximize dock turnaround efficiency. What You’ll Bring Experience: 5+ years of warehouse supervisory, yard management, or materials management experience, ideally within Oil & Gas equipment manufacturing, Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS), high-complexity heavy industrial manufacturing, or an advanced energy environment. Inventory Scale: Proven experience managing large-scale, high-value component and asset inventories (valued at $20M+ minimum). Logistics Know-How: Strong understanding of domestic freight, international shipping documentation, customs clearance, and handling of heavy, bulky, or specialized industrial goods. Shift Flexibility: Total flexibility to work, lead, and adapt to scheduling demands across a 2-shift or 3-shift model, including mandatory weekend coverage. Technical Savvy: Direct, hands-on experience utilizing Oracle (or equivalent Tier 1 ERP like SAP) and cloud-based MES/WMS platforms for real-time tracking and shop-floor component scanning. Strong Excel skills (formulas, data manipulation) are required. Leadership: Exceptional communication, labor-scheduling, and floor management skills with the ability to build a culture of accountability. Preferred Qualifications Certifications in Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or APICS (CPIM/CSCP) preferred. Licensed or certified to train employees on heavy forklift operation (PIT) or specialized materials handling equipment (cranes, hoists, rigging). Physical Requirements & Working Conditions Must be able to navigate a bustling, multi-shift industrial manufacturing plant environment. Ability to stand, walk, bend, and navigate warehouse floors and staging yards for extended periods. Occasional lifting of up to 50 lbs. Environment involves exposure to industrial noise, heavy machinery, moving forklifts, and varied temperature conditions within the warehouse docks.
