Our Philosophy
We operate on a core belief; never throw away something that someone else can use. Our owner, Doug, is dedicated to finding a second life for equipment. We take the time to research and list niche items that others might scrap because we believe in the value of specialized tools and keeping functional gear out of landfills.
The Role
This position would entail working to correct and manage an extremely wide range of inventory (approximately 16,000 unique SKU’s) through shelf audits, consolidation, and coordination with other departments. This job would really fit someone who has an interest in learning about the inventory, as it is difficult to make judgments as to what the best use of a space or item is without first understanding how and where it might be used. This role is physical, and could entail operating forklifts, lifting and moving items and pallets, as well as assessing values and conditions of the inventory. Although the job is demanding, if you have a desire to learn about what you are coming across, and create value in things that others may not, you may find it rewarding, and there are opportunities to move up within the company.

- Discrepancy identification: look for and resolve issues with inventory including quantity errors, damage, mislocated items
- Relocate inventory: utilize our inventory management software to move inventory within the system
- Utilize forklifts and pallet jacks
- Basic product identification and evaluation: determine what something is and its relative value, using resources such as ebay and general searches online
- Safety: maintain a safe work environment and complete every task with extreme caution and care for the inventory
Qualifications
- Attention to Detail: one of the most important qualities one can possess when doing this job is realizing when things don't match up
- Research Skills: Proficient in a Windows environment will help when doing product research and utilizing necessary inventory software
- Strong Communication Skills
