Operations Manager

Operations Manager

A well-established industrial manufacturing and distribution operation is seeking a hands-on Operations Manager to lead day-to-day operations across its warehousing, repair, and facilities functions. Reporting directly to senior leadership, this person will provide steady operational leadership to a small team of supporting managers and staff, keep the wider operation moving, and act as a holistic "big picture" owner of how the business runs day to day. This is a high-visibility role with a genuine voice in the company and clear room to grow as the business expands.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead daily operations across multiple warehouse locations, including inbound and outbound product flow, dispatch, work-order prioritization, and repair scheduling.
• Own inventory control and purchasing, ensuring accuracy, availability, and process discipline.
• Oversee the on-site repair operation (hydraulic and electrical control-system repair), managing timelines, quality, and the technical team without necessarily performing the work directly.
• Lead and follow up with supporting managers, repair technicians, and warehouse staff, tracking job progress and performance metrics such as completion time and labor utilization.
• Act as the go-to point for facilities management and vendor coordination, and ensure OSHA and company safety compliance, including regular safety meetings.
• Identify problem areas and partner with the executive team on continuous improvement, planning, and reporting, keeping departments aligned rather than siloed.
