LiquidStack, a global leader in sustainable liquid cooling solutions for data centers and high-performance computing, is seeking a Warehouse Supervisor to lead and scale warehouse operations during a period of rapid growth.Reporting to the Sr. Supply Chain Manager, this is a hands-on, builder role for a leader who is comfortable operating in an environment where processes still need to be created and matured. The successful candidate will own day-to-day warehouse execution, receiving, inventory control, and shipping, while standing up the systems, procedures, and team capability required to scale. A deep, execution-level command of ERP/WMS tools is essential, as is the ability to develop and grow direct reports into a high-performing team.
Key Focus AreasOperational Execution — run daily warehouse functions (receiving, put away, inventory control, shipping) with accuracy, urgency, and accountability.Production Support — keep production supplied with on-time parts, manage the final shipping schedule, and ensure finished products are staged and ready to ship.Process Development — design, document, and continuously improve warehouse SOPs and material-flow processes where many do not yet exist. People Development — supervise, coach, and grow direct reports; build a capable, cross-trained team that can scale with the business.Systems & Data — drive disciplined, accurate use of ERP/WMS systems as the backbone of inventory integrity and operational reporting.
ERP / WMS Systems & Inventory ControlServe as the warehouse subject-matter expert for the company ERP/WMS system (Odoo), ensuring transactions are executed accurately and in real time. Own inventory accuracy, traceability, and cycle-count programs; conduct regular physical counts and reconcile discrepancies through root-cause analysis.Oversee accurate receiving, stocking, and dispatching across raw materials, WIP, components, and finished goods; manage WIP and sub-assembly flow, including kitting and staging to keep the line supplied. Partner with the Sr. Supply Chain Manager and Purchasing to maintain appropriate stock levels and prevent production delays.Ensure accurate physical-to-digital tracking of serial numbers, quality-verification records, and engineering change notices; manage return-to-vendor (RTV) claims for damaged or rework material with Purchasing and Quality.
Receiving & Shipping Procedures Establish and enforce standardized receiving procedures, verification against POs, inspection, documentation, and timely system receipt.Own the receiving-inspection process for incoming material; quarantine and tag nonconforming material and coordinate with Quality on holds, NCRs, and disposition. Lead inbound and outbound logistics, ensuring shipments and deliveries are accurate, documented, and dispatched on time per domestic and international regulations.Manage freight coordination, shipping documentation, and import/export compliance; ensure proper packaging, labeling, and handling to protect product integrity and meet customer requirements. Maintain an adequate supply of packaging and shipping materials (pallets, totes, crating, and related supplies) aligned to the production and shipping plan.Measure KPIs — inventory accuracy, on-time shipping, receiving throughput, and report operational metrics to the Sr. Supply Chain Manager.
Production Support & Order Fulfillment Support production with on-time delivery of parts and materials to the floor, preventing line stoppages and delays.Prepare and manage the final shipping schedule, coordinating with production and the Sr. Supply Chain Manager to meet commitments. Ensure proper staging and shipment readiness of final products (sequencing, kitting, verification), including safe loading and freight transport of large, multi-ton finished cooling units.Coordinate handling of bulky, heavy components (compressors, coils, heat-exchange assemblies) alongside delicate electronics (PCBs, control boards), using appropriate methods to protect each.
Process Creation & Continuous Improvement Create, document, and implement SOPs for warehouse processes in a scaling, build-from-the-ground-up environment.Apply lean manufacturing, 5S, and continuous-improvement methods to improve efficiency, safety, and quality.
Team Management & Development of Direct Reports Delegate daily tasks, manage shift schedules, and coordinate workload to meet operational goals.Supervise, coach, and schedule a growing team of material handlers, forklift drivers, and clerks. Manage labor tracking, approve digital timecards, and lead daily shift-huddle safety and production briefings.Forecast staffing needs and plan labor against production and shipping demand to balance throughput and cost. Directly supervise, train, and develop team members; set clear expectations, build development plans, and cross-train staff for depth and flexibility as the team grows.Safety & ComplianceEnforce strict PPE use and hazard guidelines; audit material-handling equipment daily (forklifts, reach trucks, tuggers) and remove unsafe equipment from service.Investigate incidents and near-misses, complete compliance documentation, and correct hazards
