Night Shift Warehouse Supervisor
Location: Johnstown, CO — just off I-25 between Loveland and Greeley, an easy drive from Fort Collins, Windsor, and Longmont.
Job Type: Full-time
About the role
Help us get the beverages Colorado celebrates with to every customer. High Country Beverage, a family-owned distributor, keeps Northern Colorado supplied with the beer, beverage, and non-alcoholic brands retail accounts depend on. We’re hiring a Night Shift Warehouse Supervisor to lead the order selection team at our Johnstown facility. This is a leadership role that runs from the floor, not a desk. Nights are where the next day gets built — every route that leaves our Johnstown warehouse in the morning is picked, staged, and loaded on your shift, and you run it. No sales calls, no supplier visits, no walk-in traffic. Just your crew, the pick, and the clock.
Responsibilities
- Leading the Shift: Run the shift-start huddle and lead the night Order Selector team through picking, staging, and nightly production goals.
- Running Your Own Building: Nights run with fewer people in the building and no one looking over your shoulder. You make the real-time staffing and production calls on your shift within defined limits. You own the floor.
- Training: Train new selectors on safe equipment operation, accurate picking with our ring-scanner system, and clean pallet stacking.
- Hands-On Support: Jump on an electric pallet jack or forklift when the floor needs hands-on support to hit dispatch deadlines.
- The Morning Handoff: Finish the night with the warehouse organized, pallets staged in the right outbound lanes, work areas clean, and a clear note on anything the day shift needs to know.
- Equipment Readiness: Flag equipment issues to operations management before they cost the next shift time.
- Safety and Standards: Hold the floor to safety standards and address concerns the same day.
- People Management: Partner with the Warehouse Manager and HR on hiring, shift staffing decisions, coaching, and corrective action for your team.
- Hitting the Numbers: Own the shift’s cases-per-hour (CPH), on-time staging, and order accuracy targets.
Requirements
- Must be 18 years or older.
- Minimum 1–2 years of experience as a warehouse lead, shift supervisor, military team lead, or equivalent operational leadership experience; DSD or beverage distribution experience a plus.
- Able to work a consistent overnight schedule and maintain regular attendance.
- Comfortable operating an electric pallet jack and forklift (certification provided if needed).
- Ability to stand, walk, and operate equipment for a full shift; lift 30-pound cases repetitively; and occasionally handle kegs weighing up to 160 pounds.
Offers of employment are contingent upon successfully completing applicable background screenings, a post-offer physical examination, and drug screening consistent with company policy and applicable law.
