Job Description
About Shepherd Electric Supply Since 1892, Shepherd Electric Supply has been the first call when complex, time-critical electrical challenges need to be solved, and reliability truly matters. We move materials accurately and on time, so contractors stay on schedule, projects stay on track, and customers never have to wonder if we will come through. Our success comes from people who take pride in doing things the right way — safely, accurately, and with care for teammates and customers alike. If you want to do work that matters at a company that notices, this is the place. Why This Role Matters The Morning (AM) Manager is the operational backbone of the Baltimore warehouse early hours. Every fill rate, every accurate outbound order, every clean handoff to the day team traces back to how well this operation runs — and how well this leader leads it. This is not a floor supervision role with a bigger title. This is the role responsible for running a warehouse operation — shipping, receiving, inventory control, and team execution — that holds up when volume spikes, staffing is tight, and the margin for error is zero. The night shift inherits what you build. You set the standard, develop the team, and own the outcomes, not just on the easy mornings, but on the hard ones. When the morning shift executes cleanly, every other function executes better. Drivers leave on time. Orders are right. Customers get what they ordered. That starts here. Work Shift And Hours Monday - Friday, 2:00am - 11:00am or depending on business needs. Compensation Details The expected base salary for this position will be starting at $80,000 annually, depending on experience. Compass Values - What It Looks Like in This Role We Keep Our Promises - You own shift outcomes. If something is off — inventory gap, late shipment, unsafe condition — you address it before it becomes someone else’s problem. The morning shift doesn’t slow down because leadership isn’t watching. We Stay Hungry - You are always asking what could be faster, cleaner, or more reliable. You surface patterns, not just incidents, and push for root cause over quick fixes. We Grow Together - Your team grows because you invest in it. You develop your Warehouse Lead as a successor, not a helper. Cross-shift consistency is part of your ownership. We Own It - You hold yourself accountable first. You do not manage through excuses. When a process fails, you redesign it — you do not blame the people running it. We Go Above & Beyond - You anticipate before the ask. The nightshift inherits a clean, accurate, ready operation. Nothing is left unresolved for someone else to untangle. Key Outcomes - Organized by what matters, not just what you do.
