Viking Electric is growing — and we’re looking for an Inventory Manager to lead inventory, receiving, and operational functions at one of our distribution locations. If you excel at building strong teams, driving process improvements, and keeping operations running smoothly, this is an opportunity to make a major impact.

• Lead and develop an operations team (2–15 associates) — including hiring, coaching, and performance management.
• Oversee daily workflow, staffing, and productivity to meet service levels and Viking Electric standards.
• Maintain a safe work environment through consistent training, compliance, and policy reinforcement.
• Drive continuous improvement in inventory control, service delivery, and business processes through analytics and workforce management.
• Manage facility assets, building maintenance, and operational services in collaboration with corporate partners.
• Monitor and manage departmental operating budgets and KPIs.
• Support overall location operations through professionalism, policy adherence, and teamwork.

• 4+ years of experience in operations, logistics, or distribution; supervisory or counter sales experience a plus.
• Strong understanding of warehouse processes, equipment, and safety practices.
• Excellent organizational, analytical, and problem‑solving skills.
• Ability to lead teams through change, resolve issues, mentor employees, and collaborate across departments.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office.
• Ability to perform physical tasks such as lifting up to 75 lbs., standing, and moving throughout the facility.

This role operates primarily in a warehouse environment with seasonal temperature changes, moderate to high noise, and frequent use of material-handling equipment (forklifts, pallet jacks, etc.). Some office work and travel by automobile may be required.

As a Sonepar company, Viking Electric offers stability, strong leadership, and a culture that values teamwork, continuous learning, and operational excellence. You’ll have the ability to influence results, grow professionally, and be part of a company built on integrity and performance.
