Position Summary

The Warehouse Manager oversees day-to-day warehouse operations—from receiving, staging, inventory control, and shipping to job sites, to returns management—all while supervising warehouse team members. You’ll ensure materials flow efficiently, support field crews, maintain safety standards, and optimize inventory levels across the supply chain. You will lead the team, refine processes, and partner with Procurement, Construction, and Service to keep projects on schedule and under budget.

This role requires a high level of independence, self-motivation, and problem-solving ability, as you’ll often work autonomously to manage warehouse functions, make time-sensitive decisions, and maintain operational continuity. Success in this position will also depend on strong coaching ability, a continuous improvement mindset, and familiarity with solar logistics and materials.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, adaptable, and able to communicate clearly with both field and office teams. They bring a customer-service mentality to internal coordination, use data to guide decisions, and are comfortable implementing systems that improve efficiency, accuracy, and safety.
