About The Position

The 2nd Shift Warehouse Supervisor leads and coordinates second-shift warehouse operations across two Houston-area facilities. The supervisor oversees work across Inventory, Fulfillment, and RACE (Returns, Assembly, Combo Packing, and Escalation), according to operational needs.

The supervisor assigns work and staffing coverage by facility, maintains productivity and safety standards, and ensures operational goals are met. The role requires independent coordination of two sites, including clear on-site coverage and escalation procedures when the supervisor is physically present at only one facility. The supervisor also coordinates shift handovers and communicates operational status, outstanding work, and follow-up needs to department supervisors and warehouse management.

• Comfort working at significant heights on machinery, up to 24 feet.

• Experience supervising multiple warehouse functions or coordinating operations across more than one facility within one shift.

• Coordinate employee training and cross-training with department supervisors.

• Identify operational issues, take appropriate corrective action, and maintain consistent execution standards across warehouse functions.
• Coordinate with on-site leads to maintain supervision, communication, and escalation coverage at both facilities throughout the shift.
• Plan and assign employees by facility and function based on workload, priorities, and operational requirements.
