About The Position

The Warehouse Coordinator 2 is a hands-on role focused on the daily execution of warehouse operations. This position takes on more ownership of inventory accuracy, shipping and receiving documentation, and SAP transactions than an entry-level coordinator, playing a key part in keeping day-to-day warehouse operations accurate, organized, and running smoothly. The role is not built around one specific task — the right person will move comfortably between equipment operation, order fulfillment, and material support as the day's priorities shift.

Requirements

1–3 years of experience in a warehouse, distribution center, or logistics support role.
High school diploma or equivalent required.
Prior exposure to inventory or warehouse systems (SAP or similar ERP) preferred; willingness and aptitude to learn SAP required.
Solid working knowledge of core warehouse functions: receiving, put-a-way, picking, packing, and shipping.
Working proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel and Outlook); comfortable learning new software systems.
Strong attention to detail and accuracy in both transactional (SAP) and physical inventory work.
Good organizational, time-management, and problem-solving skills; able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
Clear verbal and written communication skills, with the confidence to guide or train peers.
Basic understanding of shipping/receiving documentation; familiarity with OS&D or NCR processes is an asset but not required.
Forklift certification preferred; willingness to obtain certification required.
Ability to lift up to 50 lbs., and to stand, walk, bend, and operate equipment for extended periods in a warehouse environment with variable temperatures.

Nice To Haves

Associate's degree or coursework in Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Business, or a related field is an asset.
