Shelbyville, Kentucky
Full-Time | On-Site

Hidden Talent is hiring a Warehouse Manager on behalf of Alsico North America, a global leader in protective workwear, cleanroom garments, and PPE solutions.

Founded in Belgium in 1934, Alsico operates in 16 countries and manufactures the vast majority of its products in-house through a global network of facilities. As part of its continued growth in North America, Alsico is launching a new distribution center in Shelbyville, Kentucky, creating an exciting opportunity for a hands-on Warehouse Manager to help build and lead the operation from the ground up.

As Warehouse Manager, you will serve as the operational leader of the Shelbyville facility, overseeing daily warehouse activities while acting as the primary link between the warehouse, the North American sales team, and company leadership.

• Help recruit, onboard, and develop future warehouse team members as the operation grows

What Success Looks Like
