Operations Supervisor

Operations Supervisor – Warehouse & Transportation

Novick Corporation is seeking an experienced, hands-on Operations Supervisor to join our Operations team. This is a unique, highly flexible position designed for someone who understands that successful operations sometimes means stepping in wherever the team needs leadership and support.

This position will serve as a utility supervisor across our warehouse and transportation operations, providing supervisory coverage across all three warehouse shifts, supporting transportation operations, and driving routes when necessary.

The ideal candidate is adaptable, dependable, comfortable working varying hours, and willing to be hands-on alongside the team.

Key Responsibilities

Warehouse Operations

• Provide supervisory coverage across 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shift warehouse operations as needed.
• Direct and support warehouse employees to ensure accurate, safe, and efficient operations.
• Assist with receiving, picking, loading, inventory movement, and other warehouse functions when necessary.
• Monitor productivity, attendance, safety, and adherence to company procedures.
• Help resolve operational issues and maintain effective communication between shifts.
• Provide coverage for scheduled vacations, call-outs, staffing shortages, and other operational needs.

Transportation Operations

• Provide supervisory coverage for the Transportation Department as needed.
• Assist with daily dispatch, route execution, driver assignments, and delivery issues.
• Support drivers before departure and throughout their routes.
• Help address customer delivery issues, equipment concerns, and unexpected operational challenges.
• Reinforce DOT, safety, and company policies and procedures.
• Work closely with Warehouse and Transportation leadership to ensure a smooth transition from order fulfillment through delivery.

Driving & Hands-On Support

• Maintain the ability and willingness to drive company delivery routes when coverage is needed.
• Step into routes due to call-outs, vacations, staffing shortages, or other operational needs.
• Assist with loading, unloading, and delivery of products when driving.
• Serve as a hands-on leader who is willing to perform operational work when necessary rather than simply directing others.

Schedule & Flexibility

This is not a traditional Monday–Friday, single-shift supervisory position.

The Operations Supervisor will work a flexible schedule based on the needs of the business and may be assigned to 1st, 2nd, or 3rd shift, transportation operations, or a delivery route.

Candidates must be comfortable with schedule changes and understand that flexibility is a key component of this position.

Qualifications

• Previous supervisory or leadership experience in warehouse, distribution, transportation, logistics, or a similar operation
• Experience working in a fast-paced distribution environment.
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Ability to effectively supervise and motivate employees across different shifts and functions.
• Comfortable working hands-on in both warehouse and transportation operations.
• Strong understanding of workplace and transportation safety.
• Ability to work independently and make sound operational decisions.
• Dependable and able to adjust schedule based on operational needs.
• Valid driver’s license with a safe driving record.
• CDL preferred/required based on company vehicle and route requirements.
• Ability to meet applicable DOT requirements when operating regulated company vehicles.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who considers themselves an operations utility player — a leader who can supervise a warehouse shift one day, support transportation the next, and get behind the wheel when a route needs coverage.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership, remains calm when plans change, and understands that strong operations require teamwork and flexibility.

If you are a hands-on leader who enjoys solving problems and being involved in all aspects of warehouse and transportation operations, we would like to hear from you.
