About the role
Looking for a working lead to run inbound and outbound on the floor at our Sumner warehouse. Receiving containers, putting product away, picking, staging, and loading trucks. You'll have a crew. Your job is to plan the day, put names on the work, and keep both docks moving.
This is a lead role. You'll still jump on product when it gets busy. What we need most is someone who can run a shift, not just the fastest picker on the team.
What the job looks like day to day
- Open the shift with a short huddle — safety, what's inbound, what's shipping, what's in the way.
- Run destuff, count, putaway, pick, stage, and load so people and doors aren't sitting around.
- Keep a simple board of plan vs. actual. If something slips, deal with it during the shift.
- Work with the office so receipts and orders are clean before the floor starts them.
- Coach people on how we want the work done. Stop unsafe shortcuts and sloppy picks.
- Close the day with leftover work named and tomorrow's first jobs set. No mystery pallets left in the aisle.
What you need to have done before
- You've been a warehouse lead or supervisor. Inbound and outbound, not only one dock.
- You can use a WMS and you know your way around a dock schedule.
- When the plan falls apart you reset the work. You don't just grab a pallet jack and disappear.
- You can coach, move people, and have a direct conversation when someone isn't keeping up.
- Camelot, coffee or food 3PL, Spanish, and current lift certs are a plus.
Schedule
Monday–Friday, first shift, on-site. Some mornings start earlier when containers or outbound loads require it.
Please send resumes to Daniel Ray at Dray@eblwarehouse.com and Jim Ludwig at Jludwig@eblwarehouse.com.

Warehouse Operations Manager Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a warehouse operations manager in Washington?
Most warehouse operations managers in Washington move up from lead or shift supervisor roles after building hands-on floor experience in receiving, inventory control, or outbound fulfillment. Washington does not require a state-issued license for this role. Employers across the Seattle-Tacoma corridor, Spokane, and the Tri-Cities consistently favor candidates who combine a bachelor's degree in supply chain or business with a recognized process improvement credential such as a Lean or Six Sigma certification, which many community and technical colleges in Washington offer locally.
How much do warehouse operations managers make in Washington?
Warehouse operations managers in Washington earn a median of about $136,500 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $84,870 for the lowest 10% to over $202,070 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire warehouse operations managers in Washington?
Employers hiring warehouse operations managers in Washington right now include Motion & Flow Control Products, Inotiv, and Target, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Washington's deep concentration of e-commerce, aerospace, and food distribution operations means large-footprint employers post warehouse operations manager roles throughout the year, not only during seasonal peaks.
Which Washington cities have the most warehouse operations manager jobs?
Kent, Seattle, and Spokane post the most warehouse operations manager openings in Washington. The Seattle-Tacoma area leads by volume because of its dense cluster of e-commerce fulfillment centers and third-party logistics providers, while Spokane draws consistent postings from regional distribution hubs serving eastern Washington and northern Idaho, and the Tri-Cities area generates demand from food processing, agricultural distribution, and energy sector supply chains.
Are there remote warehouse operations manager jobs in Washington?
Yes, but they're rare. Warehouse operations manager work is inherently on-site, requiring direct oversight of floor staff, inventory, and physical workflows. About 0% of warehouse operations manager openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, and those that do offer flexibility tend to be multi-site director-level roles where strategic planning and vendor coordination can be handled off-site.
How can I get hired as a warehouse operations manager in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting as a warehouse associate, inventory specialist, or logistics coordinator at a large Washington employer, then moving into a lead or shift supervisor role before stepping up to operations manager. Amazon's Operations Leadership development programs and Sysco's supply chain associate tracks in the Puget Sound region are concrete starting points. Earning an OSHA 10 certification and a forklift operator credential through a Washington community college strengthens any early-career application significantly.
