Warehouse Shift Lead

Location: Edwardsville, KS

Schedule: Friday – Sunday | 3x12 Shift (Enjoy 4 full days off every week!)

Type: Direct-Hire / Full-Time

Pay: $52,000 – $60,000/yr + Shift Premium & Full Benefits

Want full-time pay and manager-level ownership, but hate the standard 5-day grind? This weekend lead role gives you total operational autonomy while leaving you with 4 consecutive days off every single week.

• 4-Day Weekends Every Week: Work Friday through Sunday and enjoy Monday through Thursday entirely to yourself.

• Full Operational Ownership: Run weekend cross-dock operations with true authority and zero micromanagement.

• Direct-Hire Stability: Full medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) matching, and generous paid time off (PTO).

• Earn Premium Full-Time Pay: Get rewarded with a competitive weekend differential that turns 36 hours of work into a full-time annual salary.

We believe leaders deserve real trust. On weekends, you aren't just following orders—you ARE the manager on-site. You’ll lead a team in a streamlined, process-driven setting where expectations are transparent and daily checklists ensure everything runs without unnecessary friction.

• Weekend Operations Ownership: Lead inbound/outbound cross-docking, including trailer unloading, package scanning, and staging regional shipments.

• Shift Setup & Staging: Configure scanner hardware and workstations before temp crews arrive to ensure smooth shift launches.

• Labor & Metric Control: Direct temporary pickers and sorters, tracking hourly volume to trim labor costs when volume slows.

• Process & Troubleshooting: Solve mis-racked package issues on the spot and enforce standard procedures without skipping steps.

• 2+ Years Leadership Experience: Background as a warehouse lead, supervisor, or manager in cross-dock or parcel operations.

• Autonomous & Decision-Ready: Confident running floor operations independently and managing temp crews calmly under pressure.

• Hands-On & Tech-Savvy: Able to lift, stand, and move pallets alongside the team while setting up handheld scanners and reading metric dashboards.

Responsibilities

• Weekend Operations Ownership: Execute all inbound and outbound warehouse workflows, including trailer unloading, pallet scanning, and cross-dock trailer loading for regional transit.
• Floor Setup & Preparation: Set up scanning hardware, prepare totes, and align workstations prior to temp crew arrival for smooth shift start-ups.
• Hands-on Staging & Troubleshooting: Scan packages, stage inventory on driver pick-up racks, and fix misallocated packages before drivers arrive.
• Temp Workforce & Labor Management: Direct temporary pickers/sorters, continuously monitor volume numbers, and make timely decisions to cut labor when volume decreases to prevent wasted expenditure.
• Process Discipline: Complete daily operational checklists precisely according to company SOPs without skipping steps
