Supply Chain Manager

At Deep Trekker, we design and build cutting-edge underwater robotics and inspection systems used around the world. As part of Halma, a global group of life-saving technology companies, we are driven by a shared purpose of creating a safer, cleaner, and healthier future.We are growing quickly and are looking for a Supply Chain Manager to strengthen and modernize our supply chain — owning inventory, warehouse, and logistics operations while partnering closely with Engineering on new suppliers. This is an opportunity to combine sharp problem-solving with hands-on leadership in a fast-paced, product-driven environment.The OpportunityAs Supply Chain Manager, you will own the flow of material through the business — from vendor, to warehouse, to production — ensuring we have the right material, in the right place, at the right time. You will lead our warehouse and logistics team, partner with Engineering to qualify new suppliers, and build the processes and systems that make our supply chain more resilient. We're looking for someone who thinks through problems methodically, learns quickly, and isn't afraid to get hands-on to get something solved rather than just delegating it.Who You AreBefore anything else, we're looking for someone who brings the right mindset to the team — the traits our most successful people share, at every level:

• Be helpful — Bring a warm, can-do attitude so your team, Engineering, and the rest of the business always feel supported.
• Be reliable — Show up consistently and follow every problem through to a real resolution, not just a quick patch.
• Be gritty — Stay steady and determined when the supply chain gets messy or a fix takes a few tries to land.
• Be curious — Treat a shortage, a shipping snag, or a broken process as something worth understanding, not just a box to check.
• Be proactive — Spot a bottleneck or a gap in the system and fix it before being asked.
• Be a good person — Act with empathy and respect to build trust and positive energy across the team.These traits matter as much as hands-on experience — we can teach the systems and processes, but this mindset is what makes someone great at this job.What You Will DoLead and develop the team
