The Warehouse Coordinator 2 is a hands-on role focused on the daily execution of warehouse operations. This position takes on more ownership of inventory accuracy, shipping and receiving documentation, and SAP transactions than an entry-level coordinator, playing a key part in keeping day-to-day warehouse operations accurate, organized, and running smoothly. The role is not built around one specific task — the right person will move comfortably between equipment operation, order fulfillment, and material support as the day's priorities shift.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

 

  • Coordinate and perform daily receiving, picking, packing, and shipping activities to ensure accurate, on-time order fulfillment.
  • Safely operate material handling equipment (forklift, pallet jack, order picker) to move, stage, and store inventory.
  • Prepare domestic and international shipping documentation (bills of lading, packing slips, shipping labels) and coordinate carrier pickups.
  • Inspect incoming shipments for accuracy, quality, and damage; document Overages, Shortages & Damages (OS&D) and Non-Conformance Reports (NCR), escalating for corrective action as needed.
  • Maintain warehouse layout, bin locations, and storage organization to optimize space utilization and product flow.
  • Perform monthly cycle counts and report inventory discrepancies for review and resolution.
  • Maintain bills of material (BOM) for different projects through SAP and prepare outbound deliveries based on the requirement of different BOM’s.
  • Help with light facilities upkeep and minor maintenance tasks around the building as needed.
  • Support basic tool crib activities, such as issuing, tracking, and organizing tools and equipment.
  • Process warehouse transactions (good receipts, transfers, put-a-ways, picks, shipments) accurately and on time using SAP.
  • Run and review basic SAP reports to monitor inventory levels, aging stock, backorders, and order status.
  • Follow and help enforce Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and safety protocols across daily warehouse activities.
  • Identify opportunities for process improvement and contribute ideas to streamline workflows and reduce errors.
  • Collaborate with material management, sales, and customer service teams to resolve routine warehouse inquiries and support smooth workflow.
  • Proactively communicate operational issues, backlogs, or escalations to the Warehouse Supervisor.
  • Contribute to a positive, respectful team culture grounded in honesty, accountability, growth, and open communication.
