Yard & Inventory Lead
Our client, an established fencing company, is looking for a hands-on Yard & Inventory Lead to take ownership of the materials, inventory, and day-to-day organization of their yard operations.
Job Description
This isn't a traditional warehouse position, and it isn't a desk job. The majority of the company's fencing materials are stored outdoors, so this person will spend their day moving between inventory management, equipment operation, material organization, receiving, and physically working in the yard.
Schedule: Monday–Friday | 7:00 AM–3:30 PM
Pay: $20–$25/hr+ DOE
Responsibilities
Take ownership of inventory accuracy and organization across the yard and material storage areas
Help identify opportunities to improve workflow, organization, and overall yard operations
Assist with basic fabrication or light welding when needed and qualified
Maintain an organized, efficient, and safe yard
Work closely with field crews and office personnel to ensure the correct materials are available when needed
Help establish and maintain better processes for receiving, storing, tracking, and issuing materials
Perform regular inventory counts and investigate discrepancies
Track material movement and maintain accurate inventory within the company's software system
Operate a forklift and skid steer to safely move materials throughout the yard
Load and unload trucks and trailers
Stage and prepare materials for fencing crews and upcoming projects
Receive incoming materials and verify quantities and products
Requirements / Qualifications
This role requires someone who is willing to take real ownership of their area. We're looking for a person who sees something out of place and handles it, recognizes when a process isn't working and looks for a better way, and understands how inventory accuracy impacts the rest of the company.
The right person will be comfortable with both technology and physical work. You'll need to learn and consistently use the company's evolving software systems while also being willing to jump on a forklift or skid steer, load materials, organize the yard, and help wherever needed.
A previous lead or leadership background would be especially valuable. While this position does not currently have direct reports, we're interested in someone who understands accountability, can communicate effectively with different personalities, and has experience helping a team navigate changing processes or expectations.
Qualifications:
Previous warehouse, yard, inventory, material handling, construction supply, or similar experience required
Dependable with a consistent sense of urgency
Strong communication and teamwork skills
Ability to work independently and take ownership without constant direction
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
Fabrication or light welding experience is a plus
Bilingual in English and Spanish preferred
Previous lead or leadership experience preferred
Experience working through operational or process changes strongly preferred
Strong computer skills and ability to quickly learn new software systems
Skid steer operating experience preferred
Forklift operating experience required
Experience managing or maintaining inventory required
Physical Requirements:
Regularly lift, carry, push, and pull materials
Work outdoors in varying temperatures and weather conditions
Load, unload, stage, and organize fencing materials
Safely operate forklifts, skid steers, and other material handling equipment
Bend, stoop, reach, climb, and stand for extended periods
Benefits
This is a faith-based, team-oriented company that places a high value on its people and the way they work together. The team shares a common vision, participates in weekly culture conversations, and believes in taking care of employees while also holding one another accountable to doing quality work.
