Warehouse Facilities Manager

Warehouse Facilities Manager

North Brunswick, NJ | On-Site

$80,000 – $120,000

Overview

A large, established e-commerce and retail company is seeking a hands-on Warehouse Facilities Manager to take full ownership of its high-volume fulfillment facility.

In a busy warehouse, when a dock door, conveyor, forklift, or critical piece of equipment goes down, operations can come to a stop. This person will be the one who keeps the building running —staying ahead of maintenance, managing vendors, solving problems quickly, and making sure the facility is safe, organized, and operational every day.

This is a working manager role for someone who can manage the big picture but isn’t afraid to get hands-on. You’ll own the facility function, manage a small team, oversee outside vendors and budgets, and make sure problems don’t sit around waiting for someone else to handle them.
