Your strong communication skills enable you to effectively lead and motivate a team, ensuring productivity and accuracy in all outbound activities. The outbound distribution supervisor runs the team that picks, stages, loads, and ships battery systems (materials) to satellite warehouses or 3PLs. You own on-time, accurate, damage-free outbound, the last step before materials leave the Factory. Day to day you lead and develop the team, prioritize the workflow, plan loads that meet lithium-battery transport rules, complete all hazmat training assigned. Keep outbound in lockstep with the outbound calendar. You use performance data to find and fix bottlenecks, and you hold the dock to a high bar on safety, quality, and compliance.

Help the Logistics Scheduler in communication pickups with carriers and logistics partners, track shipments and communicate to the recipients departure times and ETAs. Work cross-functionally. Partner with inventory, deployment scheduling, fleet, and satellite Supervisors to resolve order discrepancies and keep shipments matched to install dates. Paperwork and records. Prepare and verify shipping documents, bills of lading, manifests, and hazmat paperwork, before dispatch, and keep accurate records of order status, manifests, and delivery confirmations. Quality checks. Run quality checks on outgoing shipments and catch and correct errors before trucks leave the dock. Improve. Track outbound KPIs, report on them, and drive process changes that cut errors, cycle time, and cost. Keep it safe. Enforce safety, PPE, and equipment SOPs on the dock and in the yard, and build a culture of safety and accountability.

About The Team The Warehouse & Materials team exists to ensure every part, kit, and shipment is exactly where it needs to be — at the right time, in the right quantity, and in the right condition — so production can move without interruption. Our work directly enables Base to build and deploy reliable energy systems by creating a materials operation that is accurate, disciplined, and built for scale. The challenges we solve are tangible and high-impact: preventing line stoppages, protecting inventory integrity, and designing material flow that can keep up with rapid growth. An exceptional candidate will be excited to build structure where it matters most — leading people on the floor while shaping the systems, processes, and KPIs that power Base’s manufacturing engine.
