Job Description

Description : Company Overview

Coda Resources is a family-run company operating in the wholesale, retail, and eCommerce space, servicing major big-box customers and multiple sales channels. With significant annual volume and a growing multi-warehouse footprint, Coda is focused on modernizing operations through automation, system integration, and data-driven process improvement.

We are investing in warehouse automation, WMS optimization, and system integrations, and are looking for an engineer who can bridge technology, operations, and execution.

Role Overview

This role is a hybrid engineering, operations, and systems position that works closely with leadership to support automation initiatives, warehouse systems, and continuous improvement efforts. The ideal candidate is technically strong, operationally curious, and comfortable assessing current-state operations, identifying gaps, and helping plan and execute practical solutions with cross-functional teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Evaluate current warehouse and system setups, proactively identify issues, gaps, and inefficiencies
  • Plan practical, scalable solutions and work with operations, IT, and vendors to execute improvements
  • Support the evaluation, implementation, and optimization of warehouse automation solutions
  • Work closely with warehouse teams to understand real workflows across receiving, put-away, replenishment, inventory, and picking
  • Assist with WMS and ERP (Business Central) configuration, testing, and process alignment
  • Analyze operational data and reports to drive decision-making and continuous improvement
  • Design and validate system logic (directed put-away, bin ranking, UOM handling, replenishment rules, etc.)
  • Coordinate with internal IT teams and external system and automation partners
  • Assist leadership with technical analysis, documentation, SOP development, and rollout planning
  • Participate in pilots, UAT, and mock environments before production rollouts
  • Help ensure data integrity across inventory, transactions, and integrations

Requirements :

Required Qualifications

  • Engineering background (Industrial, Mechanical, Systems, Electrical, or similar)
  • Strong proficiency in Excel, including the ability to analyze data, build models, and work with large datasets
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to assess current-state operations
  • Ability to translate operational issues into actionable system and process improvements
  • Comfortable working with data, spreadsheets, and system reports
  • Ability to understand both technical systems and physical warehouse operations
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally
  • Willingness to spend time on the warehouse floor as needed
  • Experience in warehouses or distribution environments
  • Exposure to WMS, ERP, or automation systems
  • Understanding of inventory flows, UOMs, barcoding, and material handling
  • Experience working with vendors or system integrators
  • Familiarity with API integrations or system-to-system data flows
  • Experience leading or supporting process improvement initiatives
  • Why This Role Is Unique

  • Hands-on exposure to real automation and systems decisions
  • Direct access to leadership and meaningful influence on operational design
  • Opportunity to help shape processes from current state through execution
  • Clear growth path into senior engineering or operations leadership roles
  • Work in a business that values practical, real-world solutions over theory
  • Create a job alert for this search
