The Stone Mill is seeking a Cabinetry Warehouse & Inventory Lead to take ownership of the physical organization, accuracy, and readiness of our cabinetry warehouse.
This role is responsible for making sure cabinetry is accurately received, inspected, identified, located, staged, loaded, and properly dispositioned so our Operations team can make reliable purchasing and installation decisions.
The right candidate is organized, detail-oriented, dependable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced warehouse environment. You will work closely with the Cabinetry Operations Manager to ensure that what exists physically in the warehouse matches what is recorded in our operating system.
This is a hands-on warehouse leadership position, not a department-management or administrative role. Success comes from disciplined inventory control, strong organization, accurate receiving and staging, and communicating exceptions before they become installation-day problems.
Key Responsibilities
Receiving & Inventory Control
- Receive cabinetry shipments and reconcile deliveries against expected purchase orders and job requirements.
- Verify quantities, SKUs, item descriptions, condition, and job ownership.
- Inspect incoming cabinetry for shortages, overages, freight damage, incorrect product, and unidentified materials.
- Immediately communicate receiving discrepancies and exceptions to the Cabinetry Operations Manager.
- Accurately identify and label incoming product.
- Assign and maintain organized warehouse locations for all cabinetry inventory.
- Ensure physical inventory locations remain synchronized with system records.
- Maintain accurate records of inventory that is received, staged, returned, damaged, excess, replacement, or unallocated.
- Support periodic cycle counts and inventory reconciliation.
- Help identify and resolve inventory discrepancies before they affect customer installations.
Job Pulling, Staging & Loading
- Pull cabinetry and related materials according to the Operations installation schedule.
- Stage materials by job in an organized and clearly identified manner.
- Verify that the correct product has been pulled for the correct job before loading.
- Check staged material for quantity, condition, and job assignment.
- Load cabinetry safely and efficiently for delivery or installation.
- Communicate immediately when a job cannot be physically staged or verified as ready.
- Coordinate warehouse priorities with the Cabinetry Operations Manager.
Warehouse Organization
- Maintain a clean, safe, organized, and efficient cabinetry warehouse.
- Maintain clearly defined areas for:
- Incoming product
- Active inventory
- Job staging
- Returns
- Damaged material
- Replacement product
- Excess inventory
- Unallocated or unidentified material
- Maintain accurate labels and warehouse locations.
- Prevent unidentified or unallocated cabinetry from becoming permanent warehouse clutter.
- Maintain safe warehouse traffic flow and material-handling practices.
- Recommend practical improvements to warehouse layout, labeling, storage, staging, and inventory-control processes.
Exception Management & Communication
- Identify and report shortages, damage, incorrect shipments, mis-shipments, overages, and missing materials immediately.
- Provide the Cabinetry Operations Manager with timely and accurate readiness information.
- Flag jobs as not physically ready when required material is missing, damaged, incomplete, or has not been verified.
- Help Operations identify material problems early enough to prevent installation-day emergencies.
- Maintain clear documentation of unresolved inventory exceptions.
- Escalate conflicting warehouse priorities to the Cabinetry Operations Manager rather than informally deciding which customer or job takes priority.
Operating Standards
This position is built around several simple operating principles:
If it physically exists, the system should show where it is and what job it belongs to.
If material is missing, damaged, incorrect, or unverified, Operations should know before installation day.
Warehouse inventory should be organized so another team member can understand what is there without relying on someone's memory.
Unidentified and unallocated material should be resolved—not allowed to accumulate.
What This Position Does Not Own
The Cabinetry Warehouse & Inventory Lead is not responsible for:
- Making customer schedule promises.
- Independently reconstructing missing sales or design information.
- Determining customer or project priority when warehouse demands conflict.
- Managing cabinetry purchasing or vendor negotiations.
- Owning the overall cabinetry installation schedule.
- Acting as the department's general manager or primary problem-solver.
- Keeping the cabinetry operation running through personal memory, text messages, or informal workarounds.
When information is missing or priorities conflict, the expectation is to identify the issue, document it, and escalate it to the Cabinetry Operations Manager.
Decision-Making Authority
The Cabinetry Warehouse & Inventory Lead may:
- Reject receiving paperwork that cannot be accurately matched or identified until clarification is received.
- Flag a job as not physically ready when required material is missing, damaged, incomplete, or unverified.
- Recommend improvements to warehouse layout, labeling, staging, inventory control, and material-handling procedures.
- Establish practical warehouse organization and labeling standards within the direction of the Cabinetry Operations Manager.
Performance Expectations
Success in this role will be measured by:
Receiving Accuracy
Expected versus actual product is reconciled quickly and accurately, with discrepancies identified at receiving rather than during installation.
Inventory & Location Accuracy
The physical location of cabinetry matches the location recorded in the operating system, creating confidence that inventory can be found when needed.
Staging Accuracy
The correct cabinetry is pulled, verified, organized by job, and prepared for loading according to the Operations schedule.
Exception Reporting
Shortages, damage, incorrect shipments, and other material issues are communicated immediately rather than discovered on installation day.
Warehouse Organization
Defined storage, staging, return, damage, replacement, and unallocated areas remain clean, organized, labeled, and controlled.
Inventory Aging & Mystery Material
The amount of unidentified, unallocated, excess, damaged, or unresolved cabinetry steadily decreases.
Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is a disciplined warehouse professional who takes pride in accuracy, organization, and accountability.
You should be comfortable working with physical inventory while also maintaining accurate information in a computer-based inventory or operating system.
You do not need to be a "hero" who solves every problem personally. Instead, we are looking for someone who creates order, visibility, and consistency and communicates problems early so the Operations team can make good decisions.
Strong candidates will demonstrate:
- Warehouse or inventory management experience
- Strong attention to detail
- Excellent organizational skills
- Ability to accurately receive and inspect shipments
- Experience with inventory control and warehouse organization
- Ability to read purchase orders, packing slips, SKUs, and product information
- Strong ability to identify discrepancies
- Dependability and consistent follow-through
- Good computer and data-entry skills
- Ability to learn inventory or warehouse management systems
- Strong communication skills
- Ability to prioritize daily warehouse activities
- Ability to work independently while following established processes
- Ability to safely move and handle cabinetry and other materials
- Willingness to communicate problems immediately rather than allowing them to become larger issues
Preferred Experience
- 2+ years of warehouse, inventory, receiving, logistics, or material-handling experience.
- Experience in cabinetry, construction, remodeling, building materials, flooring, countertops, millwork, or a related industry is a plus.
- Experience with inventory management systems, warehouse management systems, or ERP software.
- Experience receiving products against purchase orders.
- Experience inspecting freight and documenting damage.
- Experience staging materials for construction or installation crews.
- Experience with cycle counts and inventory reconciliation.
Physical Requirements
This is a hands-on warehouse position and requires the ability to:
- Regularly stand, walk, bend, reach, and move throughout the warehouse.
- Safely lift, carry, and maneuver cabinetry and related materials with appropriate assistance and equipment.
- Load and unload shipments and installation materials.
- Work safely around warehouse equipment, delivery vehicles, and material-handling activities.
- Maintain a clean and safe work environment.
Why This Role Matters
The Cabinetry Warehouse & Inventory Lead creates the physical foundation for reliable cabinetry operations.
When inventory is accurately received, clearly identified, properly located, and correctly staged, the Operations team can purchase intelligently, schedule confidently, and prevent installation-day surprises.
The goal is simple:
Know what we have. Know where it is. Know what job it belongs to. Know when something is wrong—and communicate it early.
If you are an organized, dependable warehouse professional who takes pride in accuracy and wants to help build a more disciplined and predictable cabinetry operation, we would like to hear from you.
