• Process Optimization: Maximize productivity and accuracy using RF scanner technology and WMS workflows; partner with the Warehouse Manager to streamline operational floor layouts and workflows.

• Administrative Oversight: Approve timecards, manage attendance/time-off requests, and monitor associate productivity metrics against established KPIs.

• Regulatory Governance: Ensure all operations strictly adhere to FDA regulations, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) guidelines, Hazmat transport rules, and internal Langham SOPs.

• Specialized Logistics: Oversee quality verification and compliant documentation for international shipments and hazardous material orders.

• Root-Cause Investigation: Quickly investigate, track, and resolve customer complaints, error rates, and inventory discrepancies (including missing parts/bin misplacements).

Communication & Client Liaison

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Serve as a direct operational link between the warehouse floor, customer care, management, and key client accounts (e.g., Greenworks).

• Escalation Handling: Address client concerns promptly, ensuring issues are communicated effectively to internal stakeholders to prevent recurrence.

Qualifications & Position Requirements Education & Experience

• Education: High School Diploma or GED required; post-secondary education or trade coursework preferred.

• Quality & Warehouse Experience: Proven experience in a quality control, inventory audit, or supervisory role within a high-volume warehouse or 3PL distribution center.

• Equipment Mastery: Proficient in operating warehouse MHE (sit-down/stand-up forklifts, reach trucks, order pickers) with the ability to pass internal forklift certification.

• Systems Proficiency: Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook) and hands-on experience with WMS systems and RF scanners.

Physical Requirements & Working Conditions
