The Warehouse and Logistics Manager is a hands-on operational leader responsible for all daily warehouse functions and the development and implementation of warehouse processes that support WPS’s AV integration projects and Inside Sales operations.
This role combines the physical participation of a working manager with the leadership and critical-thinking responsibilities of an operations-focused process owner. The Warehouse & Logistics Manager ensures that receiving, staging, inventory control, logistics scheduling, and ERP/Procore accuracy are executed at a high standard—while also continuously improving layout flow, inventory systems, and operational reliability.
