PowerPak Civil & Safety | On-Site | Full-Time
PowerPak keeps utility and infrastructure crews supplied, often same-day or next-day. When a jobsite needs safety gear, signage, or tools, they count on us to get it there right and on time. That reliability starts inside our distribution centers, with the people who run them.
We're hiring an Operations Manager for our Hanover, MD distribution center. This is a working manager role. You'll own the operation end to end: receiving, inventory, fulfillment, and outbound delivery. You'll be on the floor and in the details, leading a lean team while building the structure the center needs as it grows. It's a good fit for someone who likes taking ownership of an operation and steadily making it better.

- Outbound logistics. Coordinating fleet drivers, routing, and carriers to meet delivery commitments cost-effectively.
- Sales support. Serving as the operational point of contact for the branch sales team on order, inventory, and delivery questions.

Our values guide how we work: Caring, Transparent, Accountable, Agile, and Reliable. We take our delivery promise seriously, we support the people who make it happen, and we try to make the experience a good one for customers and coworkers alike.
