About The Position

The Warehouse Supervisor is responsible for the safe, accurate, organized, and efficient operation of the Lindon warehouse and material-handling functions. This position provides direct leadership and accountability for Warehouse personnel and is responsible for inventory accuracy, shipping and receiving, material storage and control, production material readiness, Fishbowl ERP transactions, warehouse equipment, and the overall condition and organization of warehouse areas.
