• Support light inventory activities such as inventory entry or picking when needed
• Maintain a clean, organized, and welcoming front‑office environment
• Provide general clerical and administrative support across departments
• Collaborate with internal teams on administrative, inventory, and basic accounting‑related tasks

• Strong organizational, clerical, and administrative skills
• Friendly, professional, and approachable communication style
• Ability to work independently in a steady, slower‑paced environment with attention to detail
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a manufacturing environment, particularly in regulated industries (e.g., chemicals)
