Warehouse & Facilities Operations Lead

Hoffman Hydronics

Location: Georgia

Department: Warehouse / Operations

Role Overview

The Warehouse Facilities & Operations Lead is a key driver of how the Georgia warehouse operation shows up every day. This role is responsible for supporting the safety, organization, efficiency, and overall day-to-day performance of the warehouse, shipping/receiving, logistics activity, and supporting pump assembly operations.

This role is for someone who takes real ownership of the job - someone who takes pride in the condition of the facility, the performance of the operation, and the quality of the results. The right person will notice what needs attention, set a high standard, follow through, and help create a warehouse operation that reflects well on Hoffman Hydronics.

Who We Are

Hoffman Hydronics is committed to delivering excellence in warehouse operations, logistics, and customer service while building a culture rooted in safety, teamwork, accountability, and continuous improvement.

The Georgia facility is a direct reflection of who the company is to customers, vendors, and teammates across the business. This role is an opportunity to help strengthen the operation, support the team, and contribute to a warehouse environment that people are proud of.

What You'll Do

• Support the day-to-day operations and physical condition of the Georgia facility, serving as a lead point of contact for warehouse operations and facility coordination.
• Provide daily guidance to warehouse personnel with clear expectations, accountability, and support.
• Help ensure shipping and receiving processes are accurate, timely, and aligned with company standards.
• Coordinate logistics issues, freight activity, and carrier communication with a practical, solutions-focused mindset.
• Keep warehouse operations organized, efficient, and running at a high level with safety as the top priority.
• Help foster a team culture that is positive, productive, respectful, and committed to doing things the right way.
• Provide day-to-day coaching, support training efforts, and escalate performance concerns to leadership as appropriate.
• Communicate clearly with leadership, sales, operations, and other internal teams about operational priorities, issues, and results.
• Maintain strong working relationships with other Hoffman companies in the Georgia branch and with warehouse teams in other locations to support coordination and shared success.

Operations and Facility Responsibility

• Take ownership of the overall appearance, cleanliness, safety, and readiness of the Georgia warehouse and surrounding work areas.
• Identify facility maintenance needs early and coordinate with vendors, contractors, or internal resources to address them.
• Conduct or support regular safety inspections and make sure hazards are addressed quickly and appropriately.
• Work in concert with the Hoffman Safety Department while maintaining accurate safety documentation and ensuring required records are current and accessible.
• Ensure team members follow OSHA requirements, PPE expectations, and established warehouse safety procedures at all times.

Hands-On Leadership

This is a lead role, but not a sit-behind-the-desk position. The right person will be visible in the operation, engaged with the team, and willing to step in when needed to keep the facility and workflow moving.

That includes serving as a reliable backup for pump assembly operations when necessary and stepping in as a backup trainer when the primary instructor is unavailable. The right person will lead by example, earn trust through consistency, and take pride in helping the team succeed.

What We're Looking For

• 3-5 years of warehouse operations experience, including lead, supervisory, or team-coordination responsibilities.
• High school diploma or GED required; associate's or bachelor's degree in Operations, Logistics, Supply Chain, or a related field is a plus.
• Experience with shipping/receiving, logistics coordination, and facility oversight.
• Strong leadership skills and the ability to guide, support, and hold a team accountable.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills and the ability to work well across teams.
• Excellent organization, attention to detail, and ability to prioritize in a fast-moving environment.
• Sound judgment, problem-solving ability, and a practical, solutions-oriented mindset.
• Working knowledge of OSHA requirements, warehouse safety practices, and compliance expectations.
• Comfort with warehouse systems, inventory software, Microsoft Office, and related tools, or the ability to learn quickly.
• Mechanical aptitude; prior pump assembly or similar mechanical equipment experience is helpful.
• Valid driver's license.

How Success Looks

Success in this role means more than keeping the lights on. It means helping create a facility that is safe, organized, responsive, and respected - a place where the team knows what is expected, takes pride in the work, and consistently delivers strong results.

It also means helping keep freight and logistics running smoothly, maintaining high standards in documentation and execution, supporting team development, and reducing avoidable issues before they become problems.

Physical Demands

This role requires regular movement throughout the warehouse, including standing, walking, bending, and occasional lifting of up to 50 pounds.

It also includes exposure to warehouse conditions such as changing temperatures, noise, dust, mechanical equipment, and the use of required PPE including safety glasses, hard hats, gloves, hearing protection, and safety vests as applicable.

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
