Who We Are & What We Stand For

At Central Event Rentals, we’re a team of Kick-Ass Rental Experts living our Three S Promise: Simple, Service, Success.

Every flawless event starts in the warehouse. A well-run, well-labeled, and spotless space ensures everything that leaves our doors arrives perfect.

Our culture runs on KARE DNA: Ambition, Excellence, Clarity, Care, and Growth. We believe that when our people take ownership, communicate openly, and push for improvement, the entire company gets stronger.

If you crave structure, precision, and the satisfaction of seeing order where there was once chaos, this is your place.

Your Role

As the Warehouse Operations Lead, you’ll own the systems that keep our warehouse efficient, safe, and 5S-certified.

Your primary goal: Maintain a warehouse that’s 100% ready for operations daily, with consistent 5S audit scores above 90%.

This is a salaried role combining leadership, coordination, and hands-on work. You’ll manage the daily rhythm of the warehouse, refine processes, and ensure our team has what they need to succeed.

(This position is designed to grow into Warehouse Supervisor as our team expands.)

What You’ll Be Doing

• Run the Warehouse: Oversee layout, staging, and daily flow to maximize efficiency and readiness.
• Champion 5S: Lead the Sort, Set, Shine, Standardize, Sustain systems. Run audits, track improvements, and keep visuals sharp.
• Lead by Example: Clean, prep, load, or unload as required. You’ll show others how it’s done right.
• Coordinate with Drivers: Align priorities, verify truck readiness, and ensure returns are processed accurately.
• Maintain Inventory Accuracy: Track all items in/out; flag shortages and communicate solutions.
• Safety Oversight: Conduct inspections, uphold safety protocols, and model proper handling standards.
• Process Improvement: Identify waste, design better workflows, and implement new systems that save time and increase safety.
• Vendor & Maintenance Coordination: Schedule repairs, manage subcontractor returns, and keep downtime near zero.
• Reporting: Provide weekly 5S audit scores, workflow metrics, and improvement notes directly to leadership.
