Operations Supervisor

Lead operations role on the warehouse floor and logistics ground team. You are the day-to-day person in charge of store men, pickers, drivers, and logistics assistants — making sure goods flow in and out accurately, system records match physical stock, and the team delivers. As LE grows its Industrial and MRO business — including on-site inventory for major international customers — this role is the backbone of operational execution.
