About the Role

Uber Freight is seeking a hands-on 1st shift Warehouse Supervisor to lead daily shift operations in our Charlotte facility.

Reporting to the Senior Warehouse Operations Manager, you will be accountable for safety, quality, on-time delivery, and the active development of your team.

This is a 60/40 hands-on/admin role, meaning you will lead by example—operating a forklift alongside your team while managing daily timecards, safety compliance, and operational workflows. Through continuous coaching and a prevention-based safety culture, you will drive high-performance results and deliver exceptional service to our customers.

What You Will Do

• Operations Management: Direct daily shift workflows, manage labor hours, allocate resources, and ensure the warehouse remains clean, orderly, and fully compliant with safety regulations (targeting zero OSHA recordables).

• Metric & KPI Tracking: Manage daily performance metrics using WMS, TMS, and Excel to identify deviations, drive problem-solving, and execute corrective action plans.

• Team Leadership: Lead morning huddles, assign work based on company needs, and actively train and develop 7–10 forklift drivers and 2 warehouse clerks.

• Customer & Cross-Functional Communication: Maintain clear, prompt communication with the Transportation and IC teams to ensure seamless FIFO shipping execution and uphold service-level agreements.

• Shift Reporting: Complete accurate end-of-shift reports and forecast upcoming workloads.

Basic Qualifications

• High School diploma or GED equivalent.

• At least 4 years of supervision experience within warehouse and distribution operations.

• Practical experience with warehouse/distribution software, RF scanners, or tablets.

• Basic knowledge of OSHA standards and warehouse safety.

• At least 2 years of sit-down forklift experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate Degree or higher.

• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs) and Google Workspace in a supply chain environment.

• Experience managing transportation processes using a TMS system (Uber Freight TMS a plus).

• Knowledge of Yard/WMS management tools (Made4Net a plus).

• Familiarity with SAP systems and supply chain execution modules.

Schedule & Expectations

• Regular hours are 6:00 AM – 3:00 PM. Shift flexibility and overtime may be required, including initial training on the 2nd shift (3:00 PM – 11:00 PM) for the first two weeks and working one Saturday per quarter for inventory.
