Position Summary

For over a century, Victaulic has been the global leader in mechanical pipe-joining solutions, trusted on the world's most critical infrastructure projects. Our distribution operations are the engine behind that reputation, and we're looking for a Warehouse Shift Supervisor who's ready to run the position floor. You'll own daily warehouse operations end to end: leading a team of associates, managing inbound and outbound shipping, coordinating cross-dock and yard operations, and driving the accuracy and speed our customers count on. If you thrive on building high-performing teams, solving real-time logistics challenges, and pushing for continuous improvement in a fast-paced environment, this is your opportunity to make a measurable impact at a company that values operational excellence as much as you do.

  • Oversee inbound, outbound, and cross-dock operations to meet customer and branch delivery requirements
  • Plan and manage shipping schedules, trailer flow, and dock capacity
  • Cook up domestic and export freight routing and manage carrier relationships
  • Coordinate yard operations to ensure safety, organization, and efficient trailer movement
  • Lead, coach, and develop warehouse associates — assigning daily work and balancing labor to workload
  • Conduct shift-start meetings to communicate priorities, safety initiatives, and expectations
  • Train new hires and reinforce standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  • Partner with management and HR on performance management and corrective actions
  • Enforce OSHA regulations, company safety policies, and PPE requirements
  • Proactively identify and address unsafe conditions and equipment issues
  • Verify bills of lading (BOL), export documentation, and U.S. Customs compliance
  • Ensure accuracy of shipments, receipts, and all inventory transactions
  • Conduct cycle counts and investigate and resolve inventory discrepancies
  • Track and report Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) including productivity, accuracy, attendance, and safety
  • Identify and implement process improvements aligned with Lean and 5S principles

Qualifications

  • A high school diploma or GED; an associate degree preferred
  • 3–5 years of warehouse or distribution center experience
  • Prior leadership or supervisory experience strongly preferred
  • Working knowledge of shipping, receiving, inventory control, and material handling equipment
  • Experience with warehouse management systems (WMS) and basic computer applications
  • Strong leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
  • A high attention to detail with a focus on accuracy and compliance
  • Flexibility to work varying schedules, including evenings and weekends as needed
