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 Opportunity
As 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 Are
Before 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 positive 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 Do
Lead and develop the team

Lead the warehouse and logistics team for stocking purposes

Set direction and priorities for the Logistics Manager, and coach them to lead their team effectively

Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and hands‑on problem solving

Create operational KPIs that develop over time to meaningfully improve warehouse operations

Drive supply chain strategy and continuous improvement

Identify and drive improvements to end‑to‑end supply chain processes, tools, and ways of working

Lead demand planning and purchase forecasting based on sales forecasts

Develop and maintain inventory strategy to optimize stock holding while protecting availability

Implement and continuously improve MRP/ERP processes

Manage warehouse and inventory operations

Oversee internal material flow and warehouse organization, including kanban systems

Manage inventory accuracy, stock counts, and transaction processes

Own shortage identification, escalation, and resolution, including full ownership of the SQDIP short‑parts list and proactive follow‑up to keep vendors to committed lead times

Partner with Engineering to select and verify new and alternative suppliers, including for Gen 4 and local‑sourcing initiatives

Support the supply chain for engineering prototyping and new product introduction

Manage obsolete parts and end‑of‑life planning for components nearing single‑source or discontinuation risk

Own logistics and compliance

Own outbound goods flow and logistics strategy,



including global shipping and import/export coordination; the Logistics Manager reports into this role for day‑to‑day execution

Oversee high health and safety risk material and parts handling

What You Bring

Strong problem‑solving skills — a track record of working through ambiguous or unfamiliar issues methodically, rather than jumping to the first available fix

A hands‑on, get‑it‑done attitude: comfortable rolling up your sleeves to solve a problem directly rather than only delegating it

High learning agility — able to quickly pick up recent systems, processes, and product knowledge and apply them under pressure

Proven experience in supply chain management, including inventory strategy, warehouse operations, and MRP/ERP systems

Leadership or team management experience, ideally leading logistics or warehouse staff directly or through a direct report

Experience with international shipping compliance (export control, dangerous goods, sanctions) is a strong asset

Track record of driving process improvement and leading cross‑functional initiatives with Engineering and Operations

Strong communication skills, comfortable working across Engineering, Operations, and Sales

What We Offer

Fully employer‑paid health and dental benefits

RRSP matching: Employer contributions of up to 5 percent to support your long‑term financial goals

Enhanced parental leave: Paid maternity and parental leave top‑up for up to 14 weeks

Generous vacation: 4 weeks of vacation to support work‑life balance

Meaningful work: Build products used globally in real‑world applications

Growth and development: Opportunities to grow within Deep Trekker and the broader Halma group

Deep Trekker is an equal‑opportunity employer, and we encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds and identities. Applicants who require a reasonable accommodation to complete the application and/or interview process should notify us at [email protected].
