Job Summary:

The Warehouse Manager is responsible for the inventory and flow of rental assets into and out of the Las Vegas Branch, as well as the overall warehouse organization and stock keeping that support safe, accurate, and efficient operations. This position leads the warehouse team and owns four core functional areas — Receiving, Inbound QC, RMA / Defects / Write-offs, and Shipping — while also ensuring the warehouse is organized, controlled, and maintained to support daily execution.

This is a hands-on, high-energy leadership role. The Warehouse Manager sets and enforces standards, develops and motivates the team, drives continuous improvement, and partners closely with Production, Project Coordination, Field Operations, and branch leadership to keep the branch executing the plan.

The Warehouse Manager owns the following functional areas and the team members assigned to them, while also holding responsibility for overall warehouse organization, stock keeping, and inventory control across the branch:

Receiving — reconciling and closing incoming customer orders, scanning assets, reconciling re-rents and inter-company transfers (ICTs), and returning equipment to stock.
Inbound QC — testing, cleaning, inspecting, and configuring inbound equipment to a deployable standard, with accurate case labeling and same-day issue reporting.
RMA / Defects / Write-offs — tracking defects, e-cycling, and coordinating repair-depot shipments within defined timelines.
Shipping — shipping inter-company transfers and client packages accurately, safely, and on time with complete scanning and tracking communication.
