Responsibilities
If you prefer hiding behind a desk in a quiet office all day... this opportunity isn't for you!

We live by an 80/20 rule: you will spend roughly 80% of your shift out on the floor alongside your crew, and 20% handling administrative and operational planning.

Reporting straight to the Branch Manager, you will guide a team of 7 (expanding to roughly 10 associates). You will lead by example, hop on equipment during peak rushes, maintain top-tier shipping accuracy (>90%), and help your crew build rewarding careers.

Run the Floor: Direct daily warehouse workflows, task assignments, staging, receiving, and shipping like clockwork

Coach & Mentor: Train, inspire, and develop a crew of up to 10 warehouse associates, building a culture of pride and accountability

Get Hands-On: Roll up your sleeves and jump into floor operations whenever bottlenecks or rushes hit

Master the Tech: Oversee inventory, daily cycle counts, and branch transfers in Solar Eclipse ERP to keep accuracy above 90%

Continuous Improvement: Apply lean warehousing strategies to streamline workflows, floor layouts, and overall productivity

Champion Safety: Collaborate with the employee-led Health & Safety committee to ensure every team member gets home safely

Qualifications
Experience: 3+ years of proven experience managing or supervising a high-volume warehouse or distribution hub

Industry Know-How: Prior background in HVACR, electrical supply, plumbing, or industrial wholesale is a huge advantage

Leadership Style: Lead-from-the-front mindset - energized by working actively on the floor rather than managing from a desk

Systems Savvy: Solid working knowledge of inventory ERP software (Solar Eclipse experience is a major asset!) and MS Office

Equipment Confidence: Current forklift certification or hands-on operating skills (counterbalance/sit-down required; reach truck training provided)

Education: High school diploma or recognized equivalent
