Day Warehouse Lead

Description

S&W is looking to hire a Day Warehouse Lead to assist in executing the Day Warehouse Manager's vision and ensuring the day shift finishes strong every day. The Lead's primary responsibility is closing out the day shift and ensuring all assigned work is completed safely, accurately, and according to company standards before employees leave. When necessary, the Lead is expected to extend the crew's shift to ensure work is completed correctly rather than carrying work forward.

The Day Warehouse Lead is expected to lead by example, reinforce the S&W Foods Core Values, build a culture of accountability, develop employees through coaching, enforce safety and company policies, and continuously improve warehouse operations.

• Communicate shift results, concerns, and unresolved issues to the Day Warehouse Manager.

People Development

• Coach employees daily on productivity, quality, attendance, and standard operating procedures.
• Train new employees and reinforce best practices with existing team members.
• Hold employees accountable while treating them with professionalism and respect.
• Recognize strong performance and address deficiencies immediately.

Safety & Compliance
