Warehouse Manager - HVAC

The Role: The Warehouse Manager will take ownership of the day-to-day operation of Patterson's warehouse, inventory, receiving, parts flow, and warehouse organization. You will work closely with Service, Install, Commercial, Purchasing/Accounting, and company leadership to make sure technicians and crews have the right equipment and materials when they need them.

Key Responsibilities: Own the daily operation, cleanliness, organization, security, and safety of the warehouse and storage areas. Receive HVAC equipment, parts, materials, and supplies; verify quantities and condition against purchase orders and packing documents. Ensure received materials are accurately entered, labeled, stored, and assigned to the correct inventory location or job. Stage equipment and materials for residential replacement, service, and commercial jobs so crews are prepared before leaving the shop. Maintain accurate inventory records and investigate variances, missing items, duplicate purchases, damaged materials, and incorrect job allocations. Lead cycle counts and periodic physical inventory counts; recommend practical controls that improve inventory accuracy without slowing the field team. Maintain appropriate stocking levels for commonly used HVAC parts, filters, fittings, consumables, and installation materials; identify stockouts, excess inventory, and obsolete items. Coordinate routine purchasing and replenishment within approved guidelines and communicate backorders or material risks before they affect scheduled work. Coordinate truck-stock standards and periodic vehicle inventory checks with Service and Install leadership. Operate forklifts, pallet jacks, hand trucks, and other material-handling equipment safely; maintain required inspections and operating practices. Coordinate local deliveries, pickups, and parts runs when necessary to keep jobs moving. Develop and maintain simple warehouse procedures for receiving, returns, staging, truck stock, inventory adjustments, scrap/disposal, and after-hours material access. Work closely with Accounting to ensure purchase orders, receiving information, job-cost coding, vendor credits, and inventory adjustments are timely and accurate. Communicate daily with Service, Install, and Commercial leaders regarding job requirements, equipment arrivals, shortages, returns, and priority needs.

Qualifications: 3+ years of warehouse, inventory, parts, distribution, construction-material, or related operations experience preferred. Prior HVAC, plumbing, electrical, mechanical-contracting, or building-material experience strongly preferred. Working knowledge of inventory control, purchasing, receiving, cycle counts, returns, and material staging. Comfort using ERP, inventory, purchasing, or warehouse software; ability to learn Patterson's systems and maintain accurate transactions. Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage interruptions and changing priorities without losing accuracy. Clear communication skills and the confidence to work directly with technicians, project managers, vendors, and leadership.

Physical & Work Requirements: Ability to work on your feet for significant portions of the day in a warehouse/shop environment. Ability to bend, reach, climb, push, pull, and safely lift/carry up to 50 pounds regularly, with heavier items handled using appropriate equipment or team assistance. Ability to work in warehouse and outdoor conditions that may vary with the season. Occasional local driving or jobsite/vendor pickup activity may be required.

What Success Looks Like: Technicians and crews leave with the right material and fewer preventable return trips to the shop or supply house. Inventory records increasingly match what is physically on the shelf and on company vehicles. Vendor returns, warranties, cores, and credits are tracked to completion. The warehouse is clean, labeled, safe, and easy for employees to use without depending on one person's memory.

Benefits: Competitive base compensation based on experience. Health and other company-sponsored insurance benefits consistent with Patterson's current plans.401(k) benefits consistent with company eligibility and plan terms. Paid time off and company holidays consistent with Patterson policy. Year-round work in an established Charlotte HVAC company with both residential and commercial operations.
