About the Position
Catco is looking for a hands-on, dependable, and motivated Warehouse Supervisor to lead day-to-day warehouse operations at our Terrell, TX facility.
This role is responsible for helping ensure materials and products move safely, accurately, and efficiently through the warehouse while providing leadership and direction to the warehouse team.

If you have strong warehouse experience and are ready to take greater ownership of people and operations, we encourage you to apply.

- Assign work clearly, set expectations, and follow up to ensure tasks are completed safely, accurately, and on time.

- Coach team members when performance or quality falls below expectations and recognize strong performance.
- Help employees understand how their individual work affects production, quality, inventory accuracy, and customer satisfaction.
- Encourage accountability and ownership while creating an environment where employees are comfortable identifying problems and suggesting solutions.
- Lead by example and be willing to work alongside the team when operational needs require it.

- Coordinate with Maintenance when equipment repairs or service are needed.
- Ensure team members understand proper equipment care and safe operating practices.
Continuous Improvement

Leadership Experience
We recognize that strong leaders don’t always come with the title “Supervisor.”
Candidates with solid warehouse experience who have served as a team lead, lead warehouse associate, shipping/receiving lead, inventory lead, or similar hands-on leadership role are encouraged to apply.
We’re interested in candidates who understand warehouse operations, can earn the respect of a team, take ownership of problems, and are ready to grow into greater leadership responsibility.
Pay
Pay for this position ranges from $25.00–$32.00 per hour, depending on warehouse experience, leadership experience, technical skills, inventory and systems knowledge, and overall qualifications.
Candidates with strong supervisory experience, advanced inventory-control knowledge, ERP/WMS experience, Lean or continuous-improvement experience, and demonstrated success leading warehouse teams may be considered toward the higher end of the pay range.
What Success Looks Like
A successful Warehouse Supervisor creates an operation where the team knows what’s expected, materials can be found when they’re needed, inventory records can be trusted, shipments and receipts are accurate, and safety and organization are part of the daily routine—not something addressed only when there’s a problem.
You’ll be expected to take ownership of the warehouse and its performance while developing a team that does the same.
Success in this position includes:
- Safe and organized warehouse operations.
- Accurate receiving, shipping, and inventory transactions.
- Strong inventory and cycle-count accuracy.
- Materials available when production needs them.
- Work completed accurately and on time.
- Employees who are properly trained and understand expectations.
- Equipment that is cared for and maintained.
- Problems identified early and addressed at the root cause.
- Consistent progress in productivity, quality, safety, and material flow.
- A warehouse team that communicates, takes ownership, and continuously improves.
Our Culture
At Catco, our passion is empowering people through energy resilience. Every team member has responsibilities that contribute to moving the company toward that vision.
We value people who take ownership, continuously improve the systems around them, and are willing to step outside their comfort zone to help the organization grow.
Our culture is built around three core values:
Proactivate. Focus your energy on what you can control. When something is stuck, take ownership of helping get it unstuck. Don’t wait for someone else to solve a problem you can help move forward.
Kaizenify. Look beyond temporary fixes. Find root causes, improve the system, and continually look for better ways to work.
Drive with the Fear. Be willing to operate just outside your comfort zone. Bring urgency, initiative, resilience, and the willingness to ask for help when it’s needed.
We also expect honesty, respect, reliability, and a willingness to contribute to the success of the team.
Why Join Catco?
At Catco, everything we do supports our mission of Energy Resilience for the World. We are building a company where people have the opportunity to grow, contribute, and make a visible impact.
As our Warehouse Supervisor, this is an opportunity to do more than oversee warehouse transactions. You’ll have the ability to influence how the warehouse operates, develop people, improve processes, and help build systems that support Catco as we continue to grow. We use the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to create clarity, accountability, and traction throughout the organization.
We’re looking for a leader who sees a disorganized area and wants to improve it, sees a recurring inventory problem and wants to understand and solve the root cause, and sees an employee with potential and wants to help them develop.
At Catco, your ideas matter, your work has a visible impact, and your leadership can help shape the future of the organization.
If you’re an experienced warehouse professional who enjoys leading people, solving problems, improving operations, and building a strong team, we encourage you to apply.
