Warehouse & Inventory Control Lead

Temecula, CA

Please note that we do not accept unsolicited candidate introductions, referrals, or resumes from external recruiters or staffing agencies.

Location: Temecula, CA. This is an on-site role based primarily at Frontline’s Temecula storage facility, Monday - Friday, with occasional local delivery runs to SoCal job sites.

Background Check Requirement

As part of our hiring process, Frontline Wildfire Defense conducts comprehensive background checks for all new hires. These checks typically cover the past 7–10 years and may include employment and education verification. For roles that require work in the field, driving record verification is also required. Employment offers are contingent upon the successful completion of these background checks.

About Frontline Wildfire Defense

Founded in 2017 by landscape ecologist and fire mitigation expert Harry Statter, Frontline developed the first fully integrated wildfire defense system to stop the leading cause of home loss in wildfires: ember-driven ignition. The system combines exterior sprinklers, full-coverage design, and connected software for remote monitoring and response, allowing homes to protect themselves long after families evacuate or infrastructure fails.

Proven effective during the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, 96% of homes with Frontline systems survived. That success has earned top industry recognition, including Frontline being recognized as one of TIME’s Best Inventions 2025 in the Green Tech category and receiving the PCBC Gold Nugget Award for “Most Innovative Housing Concept” and the Best of IBS Award for “Best Home Technology.”

As wildfires grow hotter and more frequent, our vision is to give people the tools and strategies to live safely with fire. We’re building a mission-driven team creating real-world solutions in wildfire safety and climate tech.

About This Opportunity

As Warehouse & Inventory Control Lead, you will own the day-to-day operations of Frontline’s Temecula storage facility - the hub that keeps SoCal installation crews supplied, organized, and ready to deploy. Frontline’s systems include sprinkler hardware, copper pipe, pumps, sensors, nozzles, and a range of specialty components that need to be accurately received, tracked, staged, and delivered to job sites across Southern California.

This is an individual contributor role working closely with the Supply Chain team. You will take direction from the Supply Chain team on day-to-day priorities, owning both the facility operations and local material deliveries to Southern California job sites. This role requires a valid driver's license, as you will be operating company vans to transport materials to installation crews across the region. The role is currently facility-based at Frontline's Temecula storage location, with plans to relocate to a permanent warehouse facility near Ontario Airport as the company scales.

Facility Operations

  • Maintain a clean, safe, and organized storage facility that meets OSHA standards and Frontline operational requirements
  • Manage tool and equipment inventory stored at the facility, including tracking condition and flagging maintenance needs
  • Proactively identify inefficiencies in warehouse workflows, material handling processes, or inventory systems - and bring forward practical solutions to the Supply Chain team to help build scalable operations as Frontline grows. 
  • Support facility transitions as Frontline moves toward a permanent warehouse location near Ontario Airport

Delivery & Field Support

  • Make local delivery runs to SoCal job sites as needed, working in coordination with the Temecula delivery driver
  • Communicate directly with field installation teams on material availability, delivery timing, and any substitution or shortage issues
  • Act as the on-site point of contact for any material or inventory questions from installers or project managers

Reporting & Documentation

  • Maintain accurate inventory records using Frontline’s inventory management systems and reporting tools
  • Provide regular inventory status updates to the Supply Chain team
  • Document and track any returns, damaged goods, or warranty claims for materials processed through the facility

Qualifications

Must-Have:

  • 2-5+ years of experience in warehouse operations, inventory control, or materials management
  • Background in plumbing supply, plumbing wholesale, or construction materials warehousing - familiarity with pipe, fittings, hardware, and related components is a strong advantage
  • Strong inventory accuracy discipline - experience with cycle counts, receiving processes, and stock reconciliation
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record - local delivery runs are part of this role
  • Physically capable of warehouse work including lifting, loading, and moving materials
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail - materials accuracy directly affects installation crews in the field
  • Comfortable working independently and taking direction from a remote Supply Chain team

Nice-to-Have

  • Experience with warehouse or inventory management software (any WMS, ERP, or inventory tracking platform)
  • Forklift certification or experience operating warehouse equipment
  • Background in construction, fire protection, or irrigation systems supply chains

  • 401(k) retirement plan

  • Work-from-home stipend to support your remote setup
  • Remote-first work environment, fostering work-life balance and autonomy

  • Join a high-performing, mission-driven team doing work that truly matters
  •  And much more!

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
