Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced Warehouse Setup Project Manager to lead new warehouse projects across North America.

This role focuses on setting up warehouses from the ground up, including site assessment, layout planning, facility fit-out, equipment installation, system implementation, process development, team training, trial operations, and final handover. Frequent and extended on-site travel is required.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage new warehouse projects from planning through launch and handover.
• Conduct site assessments and develop warehouse layouts based on capacity, product type, and operational requirements.
• Coordinate facility fit-out, racking, equipment, utilities, safety systems, and IT infrastructure.
• Implement WMS, OMS, barcode, labeling, and shipping systems.
• Develop SOPs for receiving, storage, picking, packing, shipping, inventory control, and returns.
• Coordinate contractors, equipment suppliers, service providers, and internal teams.
• Support initial team recruitment and provide system, process, and safety training.

This is a project-based role rather than a permanent warehouse operations position. The Project Manager will remain on site during warehouse setup and launch, complete the handover, and then move to the next project location.
