The Role

We’re looking for a Warehouse Supervisor to lead our Prep & Production team, which handles Amazon FBA and Walmart WFS prep, kitting, bundling, and other large-volume processing projects. You’ll turn client project requirements into an organized production plan, keep your team productive, and make sure every shipment meets marketplace and client requirements before it leaves the building. This role suits someone who likes planning, problem-solving, and running projects from start to finish. You’ll also step in to support other areas of the warehouse, including Pick & Pack, receiving, and shipping, whenever the team needs an extra hand.

What You’ll Do

• Supervise and schedule the Prep & Production team across multiple simultaneous client projects
• Review incoming project instructions (FBA/WFS shipment plans, kitting specs, bundle requirements) and set up efficient workstations and workflows
• Make sure all work meets Amazon FBA and Walmart WFS requirements, including FNSKU/barcode labeling, poly bagging, bubble wrap, suffocation warnings, carton labeling, and box content limits
• Oversee kitting, bundling, and assembly projects, including set-up of first-article samples for quality approval
• Plan labor and materials for each project; estimate timelines and flag capacity issues early
• Run quality checks throughout production to catch errors before shipment
• Coordinate palletizing, carton and pallet labeling, and outbound appointments/LTL pickups
• Track productivity (units per hour by task type), project turnaround times, and error rates
• Communicate with customer success on project status, discrepancies (damages, shortages, wrong items), and special requests
• Keep supplies stocked: poly bags, labels, cartons, tape, and other prep materials
• Train new team members on prep standards, labeling, and safety procedures
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe production area
• Fill in across other warehouse roles and departments as needed, including Pick & Pack, receiving, inventory, and shipping, to keep the overall operation on track

What We’re Looking For

• 2+ years of warehouse experience, with at least 1 year in a lead or supervisory role
• Hands-on experience with Amazon FBA and/or Walmart WFS prep requirements strongly preferred
• Experience with kitting, co-packing, or assembly-line production a plus
• Strong organizational and planning skills; able to juggle multiple projects and deadlines
• High attention to detail and a commitment to quality
• Comfortable with label printers, scanners, a WMS, and basic spreadsheets
• Clear communicator who can lead a team through changing priorities
• Able to stand, walk, and lift up to 50 lbs throughout the shift
• Forklift or pallet jack experience a plus; bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus
• Flexible, team-first attitude and willingness to jump into any role, from picking and packing to receiving or loading trucks, when the operation calls for it

Why PrepFort

• Growing company with room to advance
• Small, close-knit team where your ideas get heard
