And Operations Planning Jobs in Florida

Planning & Warehouse Operations Manager

Catalina Finer Foods LLC — Tampa, FL | Full-time | On-site

About Catalina Finer Foods

Catalina Finer Foods is a growing food manufacturer producing quality products for retail and foodservice customers nationwide. We operate SQF-certified facilities and take food safety, employee safety, and doing right by our people seriously. Our Tampa plant is the heart of our operation, and this role sits at the center of it.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a Planning & Warehouse Operations Manager to own two things that determine whether our plant runs well: the production schedule and the warehouse.

You'll turn customer demand into a realistic production plan, make sure the materials are here when the lines need them, and run receiving, storage, inventory control, and shipping so product moves accurately and on time. If you like owning the whole flow — from forecast to loaded truck — instead of one slice of it, this is that job.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll spend time in the ERP and time on the floor.

What You'll Do

Planning & Scheduling

• Build and maintain the weekly and daily production schedule based on demand, customer orders, and plant capacity
• Run MRP and get purchase requisitions to Procurement with enough lead time to protect the schedule
• Sequence runs around allergens, changeovers, and line capability in partnership with Operations, QA, and Maintenance
• Keep planning data honest — BOMs, yields, lead times, safety stock, min/max
• Report schedule attainment daily and flag shortages and at-risk orders before they become misses
• Manage inventory levels against service targets, working capital, and shelf life

Warehouse Operations

• Direct receiving, put-away, storage, picking, staging, loading, and shipping for raw materials, packaging, and finished goods
• Enforce FIFO/FEFO rotation, lot traceability, and hold-and-release procedures with QA
• Own inventory accuracy — run the cycle count program, chase down root causes of variance, reconcile to the ERP, and lead physical inventories
• Manage carrier scheduling, dock appointments, BOLs, and load accuracy; resolve OS&D
• Keep the warehouse organized, properly slotted, and correctly segregated for allergens and chemicals
• Oversee the forklift fleet — inspections, operator certification, preventive maintenance

Compliance & Leadership

• Keep warehouse and shipping audit-ready for SQF, HACCP, GMP, and customer audits, and close out corrective actions
• Ensure OSHA compliance including PPE, powered industrial truck safety, racking integrity, and safe stacking
• Supervise, schedule, train, and develop the planning and warehouse team
• Manage labor cost, overtime, outside storage, and freight spend against budget
• Report on the numbers that matter: schedule attainment, inventory accuracy, on-time shipping, fill rate, days on hand, shrink

What You Bring

Required

• 5+ years in production planning, inventory control, and/or warehouse management, including 2+ years supervising a team
• Hands-on ERP experience — planning, inventory transactions, cycle counts, and physical inventories
• Working knowledge of HACCP, SQF, and GMP requirements, plus OSHA standards including powered industrial trucks
• Strong Excel skills and the ability to turn inventory and production data into decisions
• HACCP certification, or willingness to obtain it within 90 days of hire
• Forklift certification, or ability to be certified within 30 days
• High school diploma or GED
• Bilingual English & Spanish

Preferred

• Food or beverage manufacturing experience
• Bilingual English/Spanish
• Associate's or Bachelor's in Supply Chain, Operations, Business, or a related field
• APICS CPIM or CSCP
• Forklift trainer certification

Schedule & Environment

Monday through Friday, with availability to support off-shift, weekend, and inventory-count coverage as business needs require.

Work is split between an office and an active manufacturing and warehouse environment that can be cold, wet, or noisy, including refrigerated and freezer areas. The role requires lifting up to 50 lbs., standing and walking for extended periods, and safely operating a forklift and pallet jack. Required PPE is provided.
