You'll help ensure our logistics network is built for speed, scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency-so we can continue delivering incredible value to our customers.

As a key leader, you'll oversee the on-time and on-budget delivery of large-scale material handling systems that power our high-volume, fast-paced off-price environment. You'll drive execution from design through implementation, ensuring systems are delivered to specification and consistently meet or exceed performance expectations and service-level agreements.

A Day in the Life

Design:

  • Support detailed WMS and WES design meetings and develop a detailed understanding of systemic flows to ensure all warehouse operating systems meet the needs of Operations. This requires close collaboration with IT and their vendors. Systems include but are not limited to WMS, WES, in-house audit applications, and Microsoft BI.
  • Work closely with Procurement and Legal to ensure comprehensive and accurate contracted scopes of work.

Implementation:
  • Support on-site buildout of infrastructure including racking, conveyor systems, automation, workstations, etc.
  • Closely collaborate with all on-site vendors, maintain project schedule and budget tracking, and track implementation against design drawings.
  • Support partnership with Operations and MHE vendors to perform issue resolution, root cause analysis, and detailed and well-documented resolutions.
  • Partner with Finance, HR, and IT to ensure project alignment, budget control, and resource planning.
  • Support cross-functional execution of facility startup, including systems integration.
  • Validate design efficacy post-implementation, including equipment capacities, WMS/WES functionality, and drawing accuracy.
  • Develop detailed documentation for both Implementation and Operational hand-off. This includes readily accessible system design documentation, UPH expectations, KPIS, and key strategies for optimizing peak and non-peak performance.
  • Monitor ramp-up performance, report against key metrics to Supply Chain leadership, and own getting New DC fully ramped and meeting design within SLA.
  • Document lessons learned to continuously refine project processes for future DCs.
