  • Investigate discrepancies and collaborate with procurement/quality teams to resolve issues.

Process Improvement & Maintenance

  • Identify bottlenecks, propose and lead process optimization projects (layout, equipment utilization, system improvements).
  • Coordinate routine maintenance of warehouse equipment (forklifts, conveyors, PIT).
  • Work with Engineering/Maintenance teams for facility upgrades and layout adjustments.

Reporting & Administration

  • Maintain accurate records: shipments, receipts, damages, and returns.
  • Generate daily/weekly KPI and inventory reports; present insights and recommendations to leadership.
  • Assist with budget planning, cost analysis, and resource planning for warehouse operations.

  • Strong leadership skills with experience coaching teams, managing performance, and fostering a positive work environment.
  • Proficiency with warehouse management systems (WMS), RF scanners, and computerized inventory systems.
  • Solid analytical aptitude and comfort using Excel or other reporting tools.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to coordinate across departments.
  • Flexible schedule availability, including occasional nights/weekends when necessary.
