Job Description:

\n

We are seeking a highly organized and proactive Warehouse Operations Contractor for a critical 6-month assignment. This role is responsible for the successful setup, organization, and initial operations of our new offsite warehouse facility.

\n

\n

Position Overview:

\n

This role reports to the Building Manager. Focused on spearheading the physical setup, layout execution, and operational launch of our new offsite warehouse facility, this position transforms an empty footprint into a fully functional storage, staging, and logistics hub supporting client Las Vegas. Serving in a supervisory capacity, the contractor will drive space organization, establish day-to-day operational procedures, and author essential contingency and emergency management plans to ensure seamless cross-departmental transfers, rapid inventory turnover, and total facility readiness ahead of opening.

\n

\n

Responsibilities:

\n

\n
• Layout Strategy & Execution: Design and execute a warehouse layout using 5S methodology to optimize storage zones, streamline material flow, ensure clear egress, and drive operational excellence.
\n
• Facility Setup: Take possession of the newly leased warehouse and oversee the initial move-in process, including the installation of floorplan-specific shelving and heavy equipment.
\n
• Vendor & Service Management: Partner with the Building Manager to source, establish, and onboard essential third-party facility services, including waste management, recycling, and pest control. Supervise specialized trade contractors to execute necessary utility additions (power, data, lighting, surveillance) required for operational equipment, machinery, and configured workspaces.
\n
• Workspace Organization: Oversee the physical assembly and functional setup of administrative and support areas—including the Quality Control Station, shipping and receiving, retail product processing, warehouse offices, and breakroom. Ensure all Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E) are fully installed, powered, and operational to support daily staffing needs.
\n
• Logistics & Transfers: Establish end-to-end transport workflows to manage daily inventory requisitions for the retail store, including inbound freight scheduling, dock loading, and the setup of a reliable trucking and delivery schedule between the offsite warehouse and the client venue floor.
\n
• Departmental Storage Optimization: Collaborate with cross-functional partners (F&B, Retail, Events, and Operations) to design and execute high-efficiency storage plans that strictly enforce policy guardrails. Build flexible, scalable zoning layouts capable of absorbing high-volume seasonal product turnover, supporting rapid staging for immersive retail drops, and streamlining logistics for live events deployment operations.
\n
• Equipment Management: Oversee the sourcing and maintenance plan of leased and purchased equipment, including box trucks and forklifts.
\n
• Safety & Security: Implement warehouse security protocols (surveillance, alarming, code/key maintenance, and badging). Ensure the facility and crew adhere to safety standards and maintain appropriate PPE, including safety footwear.
\n
• Systems: Partner with cross functional teams to configure, test, and establish operational infrastructure, including general IT network and hardware systems, security technology and access control systems, and geofenced time clock solutions, ensuring a turnkey handoff for venue operations.
\n
• Cross-Functional Support: Prepare the space to receive large-scale attraction elements and collaborate with Retail Leadership to help set up receiving spaces and assist in warehouse training for the retail team.
