Role (Non-Exempt)

The Operations Lead runs the day-to-day flow of Clean the World's distribution and receiving center. This position schedules inbound and outbound loads, keeps inventory controls accurate, and directs the safe, organized movement of product through the dock and warehouse. A skilled forklift operator, the Operations Lead stages and organizes loads, builds and secures pallets, and keeps a fast-paced shipping and receiving operation running on time. Just as important, this role sets the standard for how the floor works thinking independently, solving problems in the moment, and leading others to operate safely and efficiently. The Operations Lead works closely with the hospitality, recycling, and events teams to keep product moving.

•Schedule and coordinate inbound and outbound loads, sequencing dock activity to keep shipping and receiving on time.

•Maintain inventory controls and accuracy in assigned areas; identify and resolve discrepancies.

•Operate forklifts and material-handling equipment skillfully and safely to stage, move, and load product.

•Stage and organize loads, build up and secure pallets, and optimize warehouse space and flow.

•Ensure inbound shipments are received according to CTW policies and procedures, and outbound shipments are properly wrapped, secured, and documented for transit.

•Lead and direct other associates on the floor, setting the pace and the standard for safe, efficient work.

•Anticipate and resolve bottlenecks in a fast-paced environment; make sound calls independently and escalate what crosses your authority.

•Own safety on the floor — enforce PPE use, safe forklift and dock practices, lockout/tagout where applicable, and prompt hazard/incident reporting.

•Keep the distribution and receiving area clean, organized, and audit-ready.
