9d•$29 - $38•Onsite

About The Position

As Warehouse & Inventory Control Lead, you will own the day-to-day operations of Frontline’s Temecula storage facility - the hub that keeps SoCal installation crews supplied, organized, and ready to deploy. Frontline’s systems include sprinkler hardware, copper pipe, pumps, sensors, nozzles, and a range of specialty components that need to be accurately received, tracked, staged, and delivered to job sites across Southern California. This is an individual contributor role working closely with the Supply Chain team. You will take direction from the Supply Chain team on day-to-day priorities, owning both the facility operations and local material deliveries to Southern California job sites. This role requires a valid driver's license, as you will be operating company vans to transport materials to installation crews across the region. The role is currently facility-based at Frontline's Temecula storage location, with plans to relocate to a permanent warehouse facility near Ontario Airport as the company scales.
