Job Description

Job Location: Tampa Branch - Pinellas Park, FL 33782

Job Shift: Monday - Friday - Day Shift🚛 SHIPPING LEAD
Conklin Metal Industries | Tampa (Pinellas Park), FL
📍 9950 28th St N, Suite 200
Pinellas Park, FL 33782
💥 Why This Role Stands Out
If you’re someone who likes to own your area, run a tight operation, and keep things on track, this is your role.
As Shipping Lead, you’ll be responsible for making sure every order leaves the building accurately, safely, and on time. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll be working alongside the team to make sure the job gets done right.
We’re a fourth-generation, family-owned company (since 1874), and we take pride in doing things the right way.

✔ Oversee pulling, staging, and loading of all outbound shipments
✔ Ensure 99%+ order accuracy before trucks leave the dock
✔ Assign drivers and coordinate efficient delivery routes
✔ Ensure all loads meet DOT and safety requirements
✔ Manage and complete shipping paperwork and documentation
✔ Maintain a clean, organized, and professional warehouse and fleet
✔ Step in and support the team — you’ll be working alongside them to keep things moving
✔ Identify issues, resolve them quickly, and prevent repeat errors
✔ Help build a team-first, accountable culture
✔ Secure the facility at the end of each day
👊 What We’re Looking For
✔ Strong sense of ownership and accountability
✔ Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
✔ Organized, detail-oriented, and process-driven
✔ Willing to jump in and help the team when needed
✔ Confident making decisions and owning outcomes
✔ Able to lead, coach, and hold team members accountable
✔ Reliable, consistent, and focused on getting the job done right
