Job Description

Warehouse Manager

About the Role

As the Warehouse Manager, you’ll oversee inventory, shipping and receiving, product staging, facilities, fleet support, safety, and a team of Warehouse Associates, while partnering closely with Field Operations, Production, and Scheduling. Because CLD is a highly seasonal business, this role shifts from lighter, more flexible preparation periods in the spring and summer to a fast-paced peak season from October through January, when additional hours may be required. We're looking for a hands-on leader who can work alongside their team, improve processes, and keep warehouse operations safe, organized, accurate, and efficient.

What You Will Be DOING

• Warehouse & Inventory Management : Oversee daily warehouse operations, including inventory accuracy, product flow, organization, cleanliness, storage, repairs, refurbishment, and overall warehouse safety.
• Product Staging & Field Support : Ensure products and equipment are accurately prepared, staged, and loaded for installation and removal crews, minimizing disruptions caused by missing or incorrect materials.
• Shipping & Receiving : Manage incoming and outgoing shipments, inspect incoming products for accuracy, maintain proper documentation, and coordinate with suppliers and carriers as needed.
• Team Leadership & Development : Lead a team of approximately 8–10 Warehouse Associates through hands-on supervision, delegation, coaching, training, and accountability, including hiring and onboarding seasonal employees.
• Cross-Functional Coordination : Partner closely with Field Operations, Production, and Scheduling to anticipate upcoming projects, material needs, inventory requirements, and product-readiness timelines.
• Fleet, Equipment & Facilities : Support the maintenance and readiness of company vehicles, warehouse equipment, and facilities while ensuring trucks are loaded, unloaded, restocked, fueled, and ready for field crews.
• Process & Operational Improvement : Develop and improve warehouse processes and systems to increase inventory accuracy, operational efficiency, and readiness for peak-season demands.
• Safety & Seasonal Readiness : Uphold company safety procedures, support safety and equipment training, and lead warehouse preparation throughout seasonal installation and removal periods.

What You Will NEED

• 3+ years of experience managing a 20,000+ sq. ft. warehouse, including inventory control, warehouse layout, and workflow optimization.
• Experience leading approximately 8–10 warehouse employees, including delegation, coaching, and performance accountability.
• Experience with inventory management software and strong working knowledge of Microsoft Excel, Word, Teams, and Outlook.
• Ability to lead effectively in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment while maintaining safety, accuracy, and productivity.
• Strong communication, organization, problem-solving, and attention to detail.
• A hands-on leadership style and willingness to work alongside your team.
• Flexibility to work additional hours during peak season, including extended days, weekends, nights, and occasional holidays.
• Bachelor's degree preferred; equivalent hands-on warehouse leadership experience will be considered.
• Service-based business experience preferred; bilingual Spanish is a plus.

What You Will GET

• $65,000–$80,000 annual salary, depending on experience.
• $5,000–$10,000 annual bonus opportunity.
• Unlimited PTO.
• Medical benefits after 30 days.
• 401(k) with company match eligibility after 90 days.
• Greater schedule flexibility and lighter workloads during the off-season to balance the demands of peak season.
• The opportunity to take real ownership of warehouse operations, processes, and team performance.
