Trinity Solar is the nation’s largest privately held residential solar and roofing company. Private equity backed with a strong and growing presence across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, we are committed to scaling with integrity and building the operational infrastructure to support continued growth.
We are seeking a Director to own warehouse operations, procurement, and fleet. Warehouse and fleet teams are already in place — what we need now is a disciplined operator who will formalize our purchasing function, bring rigorous cost control to materials management, and drive efficiency across all three areas. This role has broad scope, direct access to executive leadership, and a clear mandate to build.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead warehouse operations across multiple markets — safety, throughput, inventory accuracy, and team performance
- Build and run a formal purchasing department from the ground up — sourcing discipline, PO management, and cost controls
- Oversee fleet operations — utilization, maintenance programs, cost management, and compliance
- Own materials planning — develop work forecasting tied to install schedules, manage stock levels to support install needs without over-ordering, and maintain tight inventory control
- Drive cost reduction through process improvement, vendor negotiations, and operational efficiency across all three functions
- Manage and develop a team of managers; hold the organization accountable to standards without top-down micromanagement
- Partner with field operations and finance to ensure materials availability, budget alignment, and cost visibility
- Treat the branches and field operations as the customer — foster a positive, collaborative environment for installation operations and lead teams that operate the same way
Required Qualifications
- Proven experience in solar warehouse operations — you understand the materials, the install cycle, and what it takes to run a tight supply chain in this industry
- Demonstrated track record of building or formalizing a purchasing or procurement function
- Strong accounting fundamentals — you can read and manage a budget, understand cost drivers, and build reporting that creates visibility
- Experience with demand forecasting and inventory management tied to production or installation schedules
- Proven ability to manage managers and hold teams accountable to operational standards
- Well versed in software, particularly Microsoft Excel
- Onsite in Wall, NJ with travel to operating markets as needed
Preferred Qualifications
- Fleet operations experience
- Multi-market or multi-site operational experience
- Familiarity with solar materials, BOM structures, and installation sequencing
- Experience working with a CRM and ERP — NetSuite and Salesforce a plus
