What are the responsibilities and job description for the Materials Associate - Driver position at DeSHAZO, LLC?
DeSHAZO builds custom material handling and automation equipment, which means a constant flow of parts moving between our shop, our vendors, and our customers.

It's an independent, hands-on role with a mix of material handling, driving, and organization.
