About The Position

TruVolt Brands (Snow Joe & Jetson) is seeking a driven and successful Warehouse General Manager for its Distribution and Manufacturing center in New Castle, Delaware.

The General Manager will oversee the Warehousing and Distribution aspects, including outbound B2B and eCommerce fulfillment, inventory management via RF scanning and bin-location tracking, and managing a broad fleet of heavy equipment.

Requirements

Proven senior operations leadership in a fast-paced distribution, warehousing, and distribution environment.
Demonstrated track record leading change management and turnarounds.
Experience building a high-performance team from the bottom up: hiring, developing, cross-training, and retaining front-line and supervisory talent.
Mechanically inclined, with a working understanding of building code, OSHA requirements, and industrial equipment.
Ability to manage across three shifts and scale the workforce for seasonal peak.
Decisive under pressure, calm in a fast environment, and credible with both forklift operators and corporate P&L reviews.
Ability to hold a firm line on safety and standards while rebuilding trust.

Nice To Haves

Experience in a site that combines distribution and on-site manufacturing.
Familiarity with RF-scanning WMS environments and bin-location inventory control.
Experience managing a mixed permanent + temp-agency workforce and transitioning toward a stable permanent core.
Hands-on production experience — comfortable on the floor and around automated lines.
Hazmat / SDS handling experience in a chemical setting.
Heavy-equipment familiarity (turret, reach, counter-balance Forklifts) and certification-program management.

Oversee the Warehousing and Distribution portion of the operation, including outbound B2B and eCommerce fulfillment.
Manage inventory through RF scanning and bin-location tracking with weekly cycle counting.
Lead the site through a period of restructuring, resetting standards, restoring team morale, and building a high-performance operation.

Diagnose operational issues, restructure site organization and staffing, rebuild trust and morale, and establish a durable, high-performing permanent team.
Manage site safety, service, cost, and people across all shifts and the distribution side.
Own the site's financials, including the labor model and the transition from a temp-heavy to a stable permanent workforce.
Lead the restructure by assessing the current organization, roles, and staffing plan, and redesigning for accountability and throughput.
Rebuild morale and culture by re-establishing trust, clear expectations, and a sense of ownership, and reducing reliance on agency labor.
Build the team bottom-up by coaching Operations Managers, strengthening the lead/supervisor layer, and building bench strength.
Communicate changes effectively to associates, making the 'why' clear and wins visible.
Ensure distribution execution, including receiving, put-away, inventory accuracy, and outbound processes.
Oversee manufacturing and blending operations to ensure safety, efficiency, uptime, quality, and yield.
Manage labor planning, including the volume-to-headcount model and staffing triggers.
