Tired of being micromanaged? Ready to actually run your own floor? 🛠️

Our client is a rapidly growing, leading national manufacturer and distributor of high-performance building materials. They are looking for an autonomous, impact-driven Operations Supervisor to take full ownership of their local back-office logistics, warehousing, and light production floor.

This isn't a desk job, and it’s definitely not a place to just "maintain the status quo." We need a hands-on leader who looks at a floor and immediately sees how to use Lean/5S to make it faster, safer, and more accurate.

What You’ll Do Day-to-Day:

• Own the Floor: Lead and develop an on-site warehouse and production crew of 10–20 employees. You’ll have the freedom to build your team culture and actively coach up performance. • Drive Efficiency: Use Lean and 5S methodologies to optimize the warehouse layout, reduce logistical waste, and streamline order fulfillment. • Master the Metrics: Take direct accountability for key inventory KPIs, specifically Inventory Record Accuracy and Order Picking Accuracy. • Oversee Assets: Manage preventative maintenance and floor utilization for material processing machinery, specialized tools, and forklifts. • Keep Data Clean: Run daily transactions through a modern, cloud-based ERP system using electronic barcoding and digital scanning workflows.

What We’re Looking For (Must-Haves):

• 3 to 5 years of supervisory or leadership experience directly within a manufacturing plant, metal fabrication, or industrial assembly environment.

• Strong ERP & Scanning Discipline: Highly proficient with modern ERP systems (entering transactions, tracking inventory) and direct experience utilizing electronic barcoding/RF scanning devices.

• A "Hands-On" Leadership Style: You lead from the front. You possess high mechanical aptitude and are fully willing to jump on a forklift, operate machinery, or help move materials alongside your team when the operation needs support.

• A Track Record of Impact: You can easily point to a past warehouse or production line and explain how you left it more organized, safer, and more efficient than you inherited it.

• Physical Capability: Ability to stand/walk on a concrete floor for extended periods and safely lift up to 50 lbs when assisting the team.

Why You Should Apply:

• True Autonomy: Treat this facility like your own business. You will have immense freedom to implement processes and direct workflows without someone constantly looking over your shoulder.

• Fully Compensated for Every Hour: Shift parameters are stable, but unlike salaried roles that expect 50 hours a week for zero extra pay, this position is strictly hourly and Overtime Eligible. Any hours worked past 40 are paid at time-and-a-half ($46.87 – $54.09/hr).

• Career Growth: Step into a high-visibility role reporting directly to a regional General Manager within a massive, scaling national network.
