Inventory Fulfillment & Receiving Specialist

Express Employment Professionals - Richmond
Richmond, VA Other
POSTED ON 8/29/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/27/2026
A day in the life

Step onto the floor, review the day’s priorities, and get parts moving. You’ll begin by checking customer sales orders alongside manufacturing and engineering work orders, then pulling and staging the right components with speed and accuracy. As you work, you’ll label each order properly and use RF scanners and computer systems to record every material movement and transaction.

Midday often brings momentum: packing and preparing shipments according to company procedures, then processing both small-parcel and LTL consignments. You’ll operate sit-down forklifts, reach trucks, and order pickers safely to move, load, and organize materials. When inbound items arrive, you’ll help receive, stock, and put them away in the correct locations.

Throughout the shift, you’ll keep inventory tight—performing cycle counts, assisting with physical inventories, and troubleshooting discrepancies with the right stakeholders. If materials run short, you’ll alert supervisors and production planners right away. You’ll also coordinate with Production, Engineering, Purchasing, Shipping, and Customer Service to keep orders on track, expedite parts through the build process, and load finished goods for timely departure.

Before wrap-up, you’ll complete required paperwork, coach new teammates when needed, and verify quality standards so each order leaves accurate and ready.

What you’ll do
  • Pick and pull components for customer sales orders, manufacturing work orders, and engineering work orders.
  • Record material usage and inventory transactions with RF scanners and computer systems.
  • Pack and prepare shipments; process small package and LTL freight.
  • Operate sit-down forklifts, reach trucks, and order pickers safely and efficiently.
  • Label sales orders and work orders accurately.
  • Assist with receiving, stocking, and put-away of materials and components.
  • Conduct cycle counts and assist with physical inventories to keep records accurate.
  • Notify supervisors and production planners about material shortages.
  • Partner with Production, Engineering, Purchasing, Shipping, and Customer Service to meet timelines.
  • Load finished goods and help expedite parts through production.
  • Train and assist new employees as needed.
  • Complete all required paperwork and documentation accurately.
  • Troubleshoot inventory discrepancies with appropriate personnel.
  • Maintain quality standards and ensure order accuracy.
What you bring
  • Previous experience in warehousing, inventory, shipping/receiving, or material handling preferred.
  • Experience operating: Sit-down forklift, reach truck, and order picker.
  • Comfort using RF scanners and warehouse management systems.
  • Basic computer and data entry skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and focus on inventory accuracy.
  • Ability to read work orders, shipping documents, and inventory records.
  • Organized, proactive problem-solver with strong prioritization skills in a fast-paced environment.
  • Clear verbal and written communication.
