Job description

The Shipping Supervisor plays a critical role in overseeing daily shipping operations to ensure timely and accurate order fulfillment. This position is responsible for managing a team, optimizing workflow, and ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory guidelines. As a Shipping Supervisor, you will utilize your leadership abilities and technical expertise to coordinate shipping processes involving carriers such as USPS, FedEx, and UPS, while also operating warehouse equipment like standup forklifts and electric pallet jacks. This opportunity is ideal for professionals with experience in logistics, warehouse management, or distribution environments who are ready to take on a supervisory role and contribute to a high-performing team.

Reporting directly to warehouse management, the Shipping Supervisor will be accountable for maintaining efficient shipping procedures, supporting team development, and upholding high standards of workplace safety and compliance. Familiarity with SAP or similar ERP systems is essential, as is hands‑on experience with shipping platforms and carrier requirements.

The Shipping Supervisor role offers a dynamic work environment with opportunities to collaborate with various departments and improve operational processes.

Additional experience with hazardous material (Hazmat) handling is a plus but not required.

This is a full-time opportunity with occasional requirements to cover shifts as needed.
