• Physically spot check outgoing loads to verify correct materials and quantities.
• Coordinate daily delivery schedules with CDL drivers and Sales.
• Ensure deliveries are completed accurately and on time.
• Communicate delivery delays, scheduling changes, and customer concerns.
• Monitor truck capacity, jobsite access, and delivery requirements.

Inventory Management

• Oversee inventory accuracy throughout the yard and warehouse.
• Complete scheduled inventory cycle counts.
• Investigate inventory shortages, overages, and discrepancies.
• Physically verify inventory adjustments before approval.

Safety, Equipment & Maintenance

• Enforce company safety policies and applicable OSHA and DOT requirements.
• Monitor forklift and truck maintenance.
• Address safety concerns and coordinate necessary repairs.
• Ensure employees have the appropriate safety training and PPE.
• Maintain equipment and vehicle maintenance records.

Administrative & Operational Management

• Review and approve employee timecards.
• Monitor overtime and employee attendance.
• Review shipping, receiving, and delivery paperwork.
• Monitor delivery schedules and tracking systems.
• Coordinate rack hauling and third-party trucking.
• Communicate regularly with Sales, management, and other departments.
• Identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

• Previous supervisory or management experience in lumber, building materials, distribution, warehouse, or logistics operations.
• Experience managing employees in a union environment preferred.
• Experience supervising CDL drivers and coordinating delivery operations preferred.
• Strong knowledge of inventory control, shipping, receiving, and warehouse operations.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
