Job description

Truestone, LLC is seeking a hands‑on Warehouse Supervisor to lead daily warehouse floor operations, material movement, and Government property accountability supporting the Maritime Installation Team (MIT) and the CTII defense program.

This is not a traditional commercial, retail, or consumer e-commerce warehouse. The warehouse environment centers on receiving, securing, staging, and deploying sensitive, rolling Government Furnished Property (GFP), Contractor Acquired Property (CAP), and multi‑million‑dollar shipboard C4I electronic suites and installation kits.

Reporting directly to the Logistics Manager, the Warehouse Supervisor will oversee daily warehouse task allocation, supervise warehouse specialists, enforce strict DoD property standards, and coordinate transport/staging of mission‑critical materials to local naval installations and shipyards.
