Why You’ll Love This Role

Want full-time pay and manager-level ownership, but hate the standard 5-day grind? This weekend lead role gives you total operational autonomy while leaving you with 4 consecutive days off every single week.

  • 4-Day Weekends Every Week: Work Friday through Sunday and enjoy Monday through Thursday entirely to yourself.

  • Full Operational Ownership: Run weekend cross-dock operations with true authority and zero micromanagement.

  • Direct-Hire Stability: Full medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) matching, and generous paid time off (PTO).

  • Earn Premium Full-Time Pay: Get rewarded with a competitive weekend differential that turns 36 hours of work into a full-time annual salary.

What Makes This Workplace Special

We believe leaders deserve real trust. On weekends, you aren't just following orders—you ARE the manager on-site. You’ll lead a team in a streamlined, process-driven setting where expectations are transparent and daily checklists ensure everything runs without unnecessary friction.

What You'll Do
  • Weekend Operations Ownership: Lead inbound/outbound cross-docking, including trailer unloading, package scanning, and staging regional shipments.

  • Shift Setup & Staging: Configure scanner hardware and workstations before temp crews arrive to ensure smooth shift launches.

  • Labor & Metric Control: Direct temporary pickers and sorters, tracking hourly volume to trim labor costs when volume slows.

  • Process & Troubleshooting: Solve mis-racked package issues on the spot and enforce standard procedures without skipping steps.

What We’re Looking For
  • 2+ Years Leadership Experience: Background as a warehouse lead, supervisor, or manager in cross-dock or parcel operations.

  • Autonomous & Decision-Ready: Confident running floor operations independently and managing temp crews calmly under pressure.

  • Hands-On & Tech-Savvy: Able to lift, stand, and move pallets alongside the team while setting up handheld scanners and reading metric dashboards.
