Warehouse Operations Manager at Kimball Equipment Company in Sparks, Nevada, United States

Job description

• The Warehouse Operations Manager is responsible for overseeing all warehouse, inventory, shipping, receiving, and logistics activities at our Sparks location. This position leads and develops warehouse personnel, drives inventory accuracy, ensures safe and efficient operations, and works closely with Parts, Service, and Sales to support our customers and the overall success of the business.
• This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who sees problems as opportunities to improve, takes responsibility for results, and is willing to step in wherever needed to help the team succeed.
• Technical experience matters, but leadership and cultural alignment matter just as much.
• · Take ownership rather than make excuses.
• · Look for solutions and have the confidence to improve what is not working.
• · Act with urgency and follow through on commitments.
• · Stay curious and continue learning.
• · Serve their employees and help others become successful.
• · Work across departments and locations as one Kimball team.
• · Take pride in the operation and treat company resources as if they were their own.
• · Understand that every role ultimately exists to support our customers and the people who serve them.
• · Play for the name on the front, putting the success of Kimball and the team ahead of individual recognition.
• · Approach challenges with optimism, high expectations, and the belief that we can always improve.
• The right candidate will not be satisfied simply maintaining the warehouse as it operates today. We want someone who will take ownership of it, develop the people within it, and leave it better than they found it.
• If you are a hands-on leader who enjoys solving problems, improving processes, developing people, and being accountable for results, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities

• · Lead daily warehouse, inventory, shipping, and receiving operations with a strong sense of urgency and commitment to customer service.
• · Supervise, mentor, and develop warehouse employees through servant leadership, setting clear expectations while helping employees succeed.
• · Maintain accurate inventory through disciplined processes, accountability, and a strong pride in ownership.
• · Utilize and become proficient in Kimball's ERP and inventory management systems to manage inventory, transactions, reporting, and operational performance.
• · Coordinate freight, deliveries, and branch transfers to ensure parts and materials are where they need to be when they need to be there.
• · Maintain a safe, clean, organized, and efficient warehouse operation.
• · Remain curious about how and why processes work and actively look for better ways to operate.
• · Drive continuous improvement by identifying inefficiencies and implementing practical solutions that improve productivity, accuracy, and service.
• · Be the solution, not the problem by taking ownership of challenges and working through them rather than waiting for someone else to act.
• · Work in solidarity with Parts, Service, Sales, and other Kimball locations, putting company objectives ahead of departmental or individual interests.
• · Sell or help someone who does by recognizing that accurate inventory, timely shipments, and strong warehouse execution directly support our customers and sales organization.
• · Promote accountability, teamwork, safety, and a positive attitude while maintaining optimism and high ambition for what the team can accomplish

Requirements

• · 5+ years of warehouse, logistics, inventory, or distribution experience.
