The Role
We're looking for a hands-on Warehouse Manager to lead a 200,000 sq ft distribution facility in Southmain, Houston. This is not a desk job — you'll be on the floor, sleeves rolled up, leading by example alongside your team of 5 staff.
Key Responsibilities
Oversee day-to-day warehouse operations: receiving, putaway, picking, packing, shipping
Lead, train, and motivate a small team of 5 warehouse staff
Maintain accuracy, safety, and efficiency across all functions
Ensure on-time dispatch and service level compliance
Manage inventory accuracy through cycle counts and reconciliations
Operate forklift and warehouse equipment as needed — hands-on required
Maintain a clean, organized, and OSHA-compliant facility
Coordinate with operations and customer service teams to meet client expectations
What We're Looking For
Requirement Detail
Experience - 3+ years in warehouse management, ideally in 3PL distribution
Leadership Style - Hands-on – leads from the floor, not the office
Team Size - Comfortable managing and working alongside 5 staff
Facility Size - Experience with large-scale warehouses (100k+ sq ft preferred)
Equipment - Forklift certified and willing to operate when needed
Systems - WMS knowledge required; CargoWise or similar a plus
Compliance - OSHA knowledge and safety-first mindset
