Warehouse Manager

If you're the type of person who believes that an organized shop and process is a foundational part of a businesses success then this is a role you'd be wise to consider. As **a pumping and water filtration company that specializes in rental**, we get a lot of action in the shop and having someone take charge and ownership of the quality of what goes out to site is key to our success.

This is a roll up your sleeves type role and the right person for the job is the one who is willing to do the work that needs to be done, when it needs to be done. Ideally, you've got experience in the rental business, and you've managed a person or two. You've got a drivers license and a good driving record, and you're willing to use technology to track inventory, vendors, hours, etc. You know your way around or have operated diesel and/or submersible pumps including hoses, manifolds, piping, etc.
