Responsibilities

The Outbound Distribution Supervisor is a natural problem solver with a keen eye for detail, capable of managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. Your strong communication skills enable you to effectively lead and motivate a team, ensuring productivity and accuracy in all outbound activities. The outbound distribution supervisor runs the team that picks, stages, loads, and ships battery systems (materials) to satellite warehouses or 3PLs. You own on-time, accurate, damage-free outbound, the last step before materials leave the Factory. Day to day you lead and develop the team, prioritize the workflow, plan loads that meet lithium-battery transport rules, complete all hazmat training assigned. Keep outbound in lockstep with the outbound calendar. You use performance data to find and fix bottlenecks, and you hold the dock to a high bar on safety, quality, and compliance.
Lead the team. Supervise, train, develop, and schedule outbound staff: pickers, loaders, and drivers across shifts. Assign tasks, use people and equipment efficiently, and keep expectations and SOPs clear.
Plan the day. Prioritize daily workflow to keep productivity high and order processing times low.
Own outbound flow. Direct picking, staging, load planning, and shipping of Base Power product to all satellite sites and 3PLs
Hit the daily booked shipments. Ship the target share of orders within the daily cutoff with near-zero pick and quality errors.
Plan loads. Build truck loads that use cube efficiently while meeting DOT hazmat requirements for UN3480 lithium-battery transport.
Coordinate carriers. Help the Logistics Scheduler in communication pickups with carriers and logistics partners, track shipments and communicate to the recipients departure times and ETAs.
Work cross-functionally. Partner with inventory, deployment scheduling, fleet, and satellite Supervisors to resolve order discrepancies and keep shipments matched to install dates.
Paperwork and records. Prepare and verify shipping documents, bills of lading, manifests, and hazmat paperwork, before dispatch, and keep accurate records of order status, manifests, and delivery confirmations.
Quality checks. Run quality checks on outgoing shipments and catch and correct errors before trucks leave the dock.
Improve. Track outbound KPIs, report on them, and drive process changes that cut errors, cycle time, and cost.
Keep it safe. Enforce safety, PPE, and equipment SOPs on the dock and in the yard, and build a culture of safety and accountability.
