About Builderz Warehouse

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Director of Warehouse Operations to take full ownership of our Arlington, Texas distribution operation.
This is a key leadership position for a results-driven individual who understands warehouse operations from the ground up and knows how to manage people, inventory, transportation, and logistics efficiently.
We are looking for a leader who is equally comfortable managing operations, solving problems on the warehouse floor, and implementing systems to improve productivity and reduce costs.
Key Responsibilities
Warehouse Operations & Leadership
- Oversee all daily warehouse operations, including receiving, storage, picking, packing, loading, and shipping.
- Recruit, train, supervise, and evaluate warehouse personnel and delivery drivers.
- Establish clear productivity standards, accountability, and performance expectations.
- Optimize warehouse layout, material handling, storage, and workflow efficiency.
- Maintain a clean, organized, safe, and efficient warehouse environment.
- Identify opportunities to improve productivity and reduce operating expenses.
Inventory Management
- Maintain accurate inventory records and accountability for all warehouse inventory.
- Oversee cycle counts, inventory reconciliation, and loss prevention.
- Ensure accurate receiving, product identification, storage, and order fulfillment.
- Investigate and resolve inventory discrepancies promptly.
- Manage inventory through warehouse management software, preferably Fishbowl or a comparable system.
Shipping, Transportation & Fleet
- Oversee all outbound deliveries, freight scheduling, and transportation logistics.
- Manage company-owned delivery trucks and drivers, including routing, scheduling, maintenance, and regulatory compliance.
- Coordinate LTL, FTL, and local deliveries to maximize efficiency and minimize freight costs.
- Ensure customer orders are delivered accurately, on schedule, and in excellent condition.
- Monitor transportation costs, vehicle utilization, and delivery performance.
Operational Accountability
- Develop and monitor key performance indicators, including order accuracy, inventory accuracy, on-time delivery, labor productivity, and operating costs.
- Work closely with sales, purchasing, and management to ensure timely customer fulfillment.
- Resolve operational challenges quickly and independently.
- Implement procedures and controls that improve efficiency, accountability, and customer service.
- Take responsibility for overall warehouse performance and continuous improvement.
Qualifications
Required
- Minimum 7 years of progressive warehouse, distribution, or logistics experience.
- At least 3 years in a senior warehouse management or operations leadership role.
- Proven experience managing warehouse personnel, inventory, shipping, and transportation.
- Strong working knowledge of warehouse management and inventory control systems.
- Experience managing delivery drivers, truck routing, and freight logistics.
- Demonstrated ability to improve productivity, control expenses, and maintain accurate inventory.
- Strong organizational, leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.
- Proficient with computers, Excel, and warehouse management software.
- Willingness to work directly on the warehouse floor and take a hands-on approach to management.
Preferred
- Experience with building materials, cabinetry, flooring, plumbing products, or wholesale distribution.
- Experience with Fishbowl Inventory or similar WMS software.
- Experience managing a company-owned delivery fleet.
- Familiarity with forklift operations, OSHA warehouse safety requirements, and DOT compliance.
- Experience implementing operational improvements and inventory control procedures.
What We're Looking For
We want a leader who takes ownership, holds people accountable, and gets things done.
The successful candidate will be proactive, organized, detail-oriented, and capable of running the warehouse without constant supervision.
This is not a desk-only management position. We expect our Director of Warehouse Operations to be actively involved in daily operations, identify problems before they escalate, and lead by example.
Compensation
- Competitive base salary of $90,000–$115,000, depending on qualifications and experience.
- Performance-based bonus opportunity.
- Opportunity to make a direct impact on company operations.
