A bit about us

We are an established manufacturing organization looking for a hands-on Warehouse Supervisor to lead day-to-day warehouse and shipping operations at our Leominster-area facility.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to the operation rather than managing exclusively from behind a desk. You'll oversee a warehouse team, keep product moving efficiently, maintain inventory accuracy, and identify ways to make the operation safer, more organized, and more productive.

We're looking for a leader who can balance people, priorities, safety, quality, and deadlines in a busy manufacturing environment.

Why join us

• 1st shift schedule
• Up to $90K annually
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Stable, established manufacturing environment
• Hands-on leadership opportunity
• Opportunity to improve warehouse processes and procedures
• Strong focus on continuous improvement
• Ability to coach, develop, and build a successful team
• Direct impact on shipping, inventory, productivity, and customer satisfaction

Job Details

As the Warehouse Supervisor, you'll take ownership of daily warehouse activities while leading a team responsible for shipping, receiving, material movement, inventory, and related operations.

You'll establish daily priorities, allocate manpower appropriately, monitor performance, and make sure customer and production commitments are supported. Just as importantly, you'll be expected to look beyond today's workload and find opportunities to make the department better over time.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead, coach, and develop warehouse employees across daily operations
• Establish daily work priorities based on shipping, receiving, inventory, and production needs
• Coordinate staffing and schedules to maintain appropriate coverage
• Monitor productivity, accuracy, quality, and overall department performance
• Oversee outbound shipments, incoming materials, loading, unloading, and product storage
• Maintain accurate inventory through cycle counting and established warehouse controls
• Ensure materials and finished goods are properly handled, staged, stored, and documented
• Monitor warehouse equipment and coordinate preventive maintenance when necessary
• Maintain a strong focus on workplace safety and proper material-handling practices
• Track departmental performance and address issues that could impact service or production
• Develop and reinforce standardized warehouse procedures
• Train employees and provide ongoing feedback to strengthen individual and team performance
• Identify workflow bottlenecks and implement practical solutions
• Support cost-control initiatives without compromising safety, quality, or service
• Apply Lean and continuous-improvement principles to warehouse operations
• Work closely with manufacturing, operations, and other departments to keep materials and finished product moving
• Create a culture of accountability, communication, teamwork, and continuous improvement

What We're Looking For

• Previous warehouse supervisory or leadership experience
• Experience within manufacturing, distribution, shipping/receiving, or logistics
• Strong understanding of warehouse safety and material-handling practices
• Experience directing employees and assigning work based on changing operational priorities
• Ability to coach employees while maintaining clear expectations and accountability
• Comfortable working with warehouse management and inventory systems
• Strong computer skills
• Experience working with forklifts and other powered material-handling equipment
• Ability to analyze productivity, inventory, staffing, and workflow challenges
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills
• Understanding of Lean manufacturing or continuous improvement concepts is highly desirable
• Associate degree or related education is a plus, but equivalent hands-on experience will also be considered

The Right Person

You don't need to be someone who wants to sit in an office all day.

We're looking for a visible, hands-on warehouse leader who understands what's happening on the floor, communicates well with employees, holds the team accountable, and isn't afraid to jump in when priorities change.

If you enjoy leading people, improving processes, and keeping a fast-moving manufacturing operation organized, this could be a great next step.
