Warehouse Project Manager

Warehouse Project Manager

We are looking for an experienced Warehouse expert (Warehouse Laison) that can re-organize a large existing and operating warehouse. This is a Contract position expecting to last approximately 6 months and will require a total of approximately 1000 to 1200 total hours with a pay rate range in the $60 to $70 per hour.

Warehouse Project Manager Responsibilities:

• Identify and flag obsolete, damaged, or unusable inventory and old machinery for disposition or write-off.

• Establish a physical organization structure — clearly marked zones, bins, shelving, and labelling — for all inventory categories.

• Remove or relocate non-inventory clutter and unused equipment to free up usable warehouse space.

• Design and implement a standardized inventory storage and labelling system across the warehouse.

• Develop SOPs for warehouse teams — covering receiving, put-away, picking, cycle counts, and general housekeeping — so processes are consistent across shifts and teams.

• Train on-ground warehouse staff on the new SOPs and drive adoption.

• Set up a recurring cycle-count and housekeeping cadence to sustain organization over time.

• Support the physical segregation of old (pre-subsidiary) inventory from new inventory billed to Imperial Auto USA.

• Assist Warehouse Associates and the Customer & SCM workstream in maintaining accurate, separate tracking of both inventory pools during the transition.

• Identify and drive quick wins to improve overall warehouse efficiency, safety, and space utilization.

• Recommend layout, equipment, process improvements beyond the initial clean-up.

• Partner with Warehouse Associates leadership to help sustain improvements after the engagement ends.

Warehouse Project Manager Qualifications and Benefits:

• Strong hands-on operational mindset — comfortable leading physical warehouse clean-up and reorganization from the ground up.

• Hourly rate of $60 to $70 per hour based on experience and knowledge.

• Schedule flexibility and great work life balance.

• This position could lead to a permanent role with a large international company.

• Working knowledge of warehouse management practices — layout design, inventory labelling/tagging systems, cycle counting.

• Familiarity with WMS or inventory tracking systems.

• Comfortable with Excel for inventory tracking and reporting.

• Clear communicator, able to train and align warehouse staff on new processes.

• Structured and methodical, with strong attention to detail.

• Resilient and comfortable working in a currently unstructured, messy environment.

• 4–8 years of experience in warehouse operations, inventory management, or logistics, including hands-on warehouse set-up or turnaround experience.

• Prior experience cleaning up, reorganizing, or setting up SOPs for a warehouse operation strongly preferred.

• Experience in automotive, industrial, or distribution warehouse environments preferred.

• Bachelor’s degree preferred, though not required given the hands-on nature of the role.
