Warehouse & Logistics Supervisor

Description

Lead the Team. Keep Materials Moving. Make an Impact.

At DeWys Metal Solutions, we’re looking for a Warehouse & Logistics Supervisor who enjoys leading people but also wants to stay close to the work.4

This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for the day-to-day operations of our shipping, receiving, material handling, and inventory activities. You’ll lead a team, set daily priorities, reinforce processes and standard work, solve problems, and make sure materials move safely, accurately, and efficiently throughout our operation.

If you’re someone who likes being out on the floor, developing people, creating accountability, and finding better ways to get the work done, this could be a great fit.

What You'll Do

You’ll provide hands-on leadership to our warehouse and logistics team while helping create a safe, organized, and reliable operation.

• Lead the team. Provide daily direction, set priorities, coach team members, reinforce expectations, and help employees grow and succeed.
• Keep materials moving. Oversee shipping, receiving, material handling, and inventory activities to support production schedules and customer requirements.
• Own the daily execution. Make sure established processes and standard work are understood, followed, and consistently executed.
• Drive inventory accuracy. Oversee cycle counting, reinforce accurate ERP transactions, and help investigate and resolve inventory discrepancies.
• Solve problems. Respond to daily material, shipping, receiving, and workflow issues and work across departments to keep things moving.
• Use the numbers. Monitor key performance indicators such as on-time shipping, shipping accuracy, inventory accuracy, cycle count completion, and dock-to-stock time.
• Improve the process. Identify opportunities to improve material flow, efficiency, safety, accuracy, and productivity.
• Build standard work. Help document and improve procedures while reinforcing 5S, visual management, and process discipline.
• Put safety first. Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work environment and ensure team members follow established safety practices.
• Work across the business. Partner with Production, Scheduling, Purchasing, Quality, Customer Service, and other teams to resolve issues and improve material flow.

What You'll Bring

• High school diploma or equivalent required; associate degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Operations, Business, or a related field preferred.
• 3–5  years of experience in warehouse, shipping, receiving, logistics, inventory control, material handling, or manufacturing operations.
• 2+ years of experience in a lead or supervisory role with responsibility for directing and supporting employees.
• Previous manufacturing experience strongly preferred.
• Experience using an ERP system for shipping, receiving, inventory, and material transactions.
• Experience with Lean manufacturing, 5S, standard work, or continuous improvement preferred.
• Experience with freight, carrier coordination, and shipping documentation is a plus.
• Forklift or other material-handling equipment experience preferred.

What Will Help You Succeed

You’ll be successful in this role if you understand shipping, receiving, inventory control, and material flow—and you know how to lead people while staying connected to the work. We’re looking for someone who can set clear expectations, coach employees, hold people accountable, and build positive working relationships. You should be comfortable using ERP systems and operational data, solving problems, reinforcing standard work, and adjusting priorities as production and customer needs change. Strong communication, organization, attention to detail, follow-through, and a continuous-improvement mindset will be important in this role.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role means creating a warehouse and logistics operation that is safe, accurate, organized, and dependable.

You’ll help drive results in areas including:

• On-time shipments
• Shipping and order accuracy
• Inventory accuracy
• Cycle count completion and accuracy
