About The Position

The 2nd Shift Warehouse Supervisor leads and coordinates second-shift warehouse operations across two Houston-area facilities, including Inventory, Fulfillment, and RACE (Returns, Assembly, Combo Packing, and Escalation), as scheduled according to operational needs. This is primarily a people-management and operational-execution role. The supervisor oversees second-shift employees and designated on-site leads, coordinates assignments and staffing coverage by location, maintains productivity and safety standards, and ensures operational goals are met. The role requires independent coordination of operations at both sites, with clear on-site coverage and escalation procedures when the supervisor is physically present at only one facility. The supervisor directs employees, manages attendance and performance, provides coaching, coordinates training, assigns work across facilities and functions, monitors workload and productivity, addresses disruptions, and enforces safety and process requirements. The role also includes coordinating with department supervisors and warehouse management, maintaining shift records, and providing end-of-shift reports for both facilities.
