Warehouse Project Manager

Warehouse Project Manager

We are looking for an experienced Warehouse expert that can re-organize a large existing and operating warehouse. This is a Contract position expecting to last approximately 6 months and will require a total of approximately 1000 to 1200 total hours with a pay rate range in the $60 to $70 per hour.

Warehouse Project Manager Responsibilities:

• Identify and flag obsolete, damaged, or unusable inventory and old machinery for disposition or write-off.
• Establish a physical organization structure — clearly marked zones, bins, shelving, and labelling — for all inventory categories.
• Remove or relocate non-inventory clutter and unused equipment to free up usable warehouse space.
• Design and implement a standardized inventory storage and labelling system across the warehouse.
• Develop SOPs for warehouse teams — covering receiving, put-away, picking, cycle counts, and general housekeeping — so processes are consistent across shifts and teams.
• Train on-ground warehouse staff on the new SOPs and drive adoption.
• Set up a recurring cycle-count and housekeeping cadence to sustain organization over time.
• Support the physical segregation of old (pre-subsidiary) inventory from new inventory billed to Imperial Auto USA.
• Assist Warehouse Associates and the Customer & SCM workstream in maintaining accurate, separate tracking of both inventory pools during the transition.
• Identify and drive quick wins to improve overall warehouse efficiency, safety, and space utilization.
• Recommend layout, equipment, process improvements beyond the initial clean-up.
• Partner with Warehouse Associates leadership to help sustain improvements after the engagement ends.

Warehouse Project Manager Qualifications and Benefits:

Strong hands-on operational mindset — comfortable leading physical warehouse clean-up and reorganization from the ground up.

Hourly rate of $60 to $70 per hour based on experience and knowledge.

Schedule flexibility and great work life balance.

This position could lead to a permanent role with a large international company.

Working knowledge of warehouse management practices — layout design, inventory labelling/tagging systems, cycle counting.

Clear communicator, able to train and align warehouse staff on new processes.

Structured and methodical, with strong attention to detail.

Prior experience cleaning up, reorganizing, or setting up SOPs for a warehouse operation strongly preferred.

Experience in automotive, industrial, or distribution warehouse environments preferred.

Bachelor's degree preferred, though not required given the hands-on nature of the role.
