Materials & Warehouse Supervisor Full Time

Company Overview:

VIP Soap Products Ltd is a leading manufacturer of high-quality soap products with a strong commitment to sustainability and customer satisfaction. We are dedicated to delivering innovative and environmentally friendly solutions to meet our customers’ needs.

Role Summary:

Reporting to the Director of Operations, the Materials & Warehouse Supervisor is accountable for the end-to-end execution and control of raw materials from receiving through storage, internal movements, and staging to production. This role owns the organization and accuracy of the raw material warehouse, ensures timely and compliant receipt/transaction processing, and maintains complete and on-time documentation to support production, quality, and traceability. The role leads a small team (1–2 direct reports, including Receiver and Product Stagers as applicable) and partners closely with Production, Quality, Purchasing, and Planning to ensure materials are available, identifiable, and ready ahead of schedule. This role does not own purchasing/PO placement; it ensures materials are received, transacted, stored, and staged accurately and on time once orders are placed.

Position Responsibilities:

· Lead receiving, warehousing, and staging operations: Own day-to-day performance for raw material receiving, put-away, storage locations, replenishment, and staging of materials/products ahead of production needs.

· People leadership: Train, schedule, coach, and support 12 direct reports (Receiver and Product Stagers as applicable); assign daily work, set priorities, and ensure safe work practices.

· Inventory accuracy & control: Maintain accurate inventory records and location control; execute cycle counts and support physical inventories; investigate variances and drive corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

· Production readiness: Coordinate with Production/Planning to stage the right materials in the right quantities at the right time; manage internal transfers and replenishment to minimize line stoppages and material shortages (execution-focused; no purchasing ownership).

· Documentation, systems & compliance: Ensure all receiving, labeling, lot tracking, COAs/related documents, and ERP transactions are completed accurately and on time; maintain GMP/housekeeping standards; support audits and traceability requirements in partnership with Quality.

Qualifications and Skills:

• Experience: 3+ years in warehouse/receiving/materials handling in a manufacturing environment; prior lead hand/supervisory experience is strongly preferred.
• Systems & documentation: Comfortable with ERP/inventory systems and MS Office; able to complete receiving/issuing transactions and maintain accurate traceability documentation.
• Organization & attention to detail: Strong ability to manage multiple inbound/outbound priorities, maintain warehouse organization (5S), and prevent inventory/lot control errors.
• Compliance & safety mindset: Working knowledge of GMP/quality requirements and safe warehouse practices; capable of supporting audits and maintaining clean, compliant storage areas.
• Material handling: Forklift certification (or ability to obtain) and experience handling bulk/packaged raw materials; able to lift and move materials as required.
