Operations Manager
Dakota Premium Hardwoods (a Würth Company) · Greater Houston · 1 mo ago
Management$85k/yrFull-time
About the role
This is a dual-scope operations role covering both the warehouse and our delivery/logistics function. On the warehouse side, you'll own inventory accuracy, order fulfillment speed, and staff supervision, all running through Epicor's warehouse management system (WMS) — from receiving to pick, pack, and ship. On the logistics side, you'll own our fleet of delivery trucks: scheduling, routing, driver management, vehicle maintenance, and on-time delivery performance. This role requires someone who can manage teams through a system-driven, process-heavy environment, even if they haven't used Epicor specifically before.
Responsibilities
Warehouse
- Oversee daily warehouse operations: receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping
- Manage inventory accuracy and cycle counts within our Epicor WMS
- Supervise, schedule, and develop warehouse staff (forklift operators, pickers, receiving clerks)
- Troubleshoot order and inventory discrepancies and resolve them through the WMS
- Set and track KPIs for fulfillment speed, order accuracy, and inventory shrinkage
- Enforce safety protocols and maintain a clean, OSHA-compliant warehouse
Logistics & Fleet
- Manage and schedule our fleet of delivery trucks and drivers
- Plan and coordinate delivery routes for on-time, cost-efficient service
- Oversee vehicle maintenance schedules, registrations, and driver safety/compliance (DOT hours-of-service, inspections)
- Coordinate load planning and dispatch so trucks leave fully and on schedule
- Handle delivery escalations (delays, damaged freight, customer complaints) and resolve them quickly
Across Both
- Coordinate with purchasing, sales, and Management to keep product and deliveries flowing smoothly
- Own onboarding and training for new hires on our systems and procedures
- Hire, supervise, and develop both warehouse and driver staff
Qualifications
- 3+ years of experience managing warehouse, distribution, or logistics operations (building materials, lumber, or industrial distribution a plus, but not required)
- Experience managing a delivery fleet and drivers — including scheduling, routing, and vehicle maintenance oversight
- Proven experience supervising a team of 10+ staff across multiple functions (warehouse and drivers)
- Strong comfort working inside a warehouse/inventory management software system — direct Epicor experience is a plus, but not required. We're most interested in your ability to quickly learn and master a new system.
- Familiarity with DOT and basic fleet maintenance scheduling is a plus
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail — inventory accuracy is critical to this role
- Solid understanding of receiving, picking, and shipping workflows
- Ability to read and act on data (inventory reports, delivery/route reports, KPI dashboards)
- Physical ability to be on the warehouse floor and out on the dock daily
