About Hoover Commercial Refrigeration & Mechanical
Hoover Commercial Refrigeration & Mechanical is a locally owned commercial HVAC and refrigeration contractor serving customers throughout Western Washington.
Since 2013, we have built our reputation by providing dependable commercial refrigeration, HVAC, and mechanical services while developing long-term relationships with our customers, employees, and industry partners.
We believe strong operations start with a strong team. Every role matters in keeping our technicians, projects, customers, and day-to-day operations moving — and we are looking for a dependable Warehouse Associate / Parts Runner to join us.
About the Role
The Warehouse Associate / Parts Runner supports our field and office teams by helping maintain an organized warehouse and ensuring technicians have the parts, materials, equipment, and supplies they need to do their jobs.
This is a hands-on position that combines warehouse responsibilities with local driving and parts delivery. Depending on daily operational needs, you may spend part of your day receiving and organizing materials in the warehouse and another part picking up parts from vendors or delivering equipment and supplies to technicians and job sites.
This is a great fit for someone who is dependable, organized, comfortable working independently, and willing to jump in wherever needed to help keep operations running smoothly.

Warehouse Support
- Receive, inspect, organize, and stock incoming parts, materials, and equipment.
- Maintain an organized, clean, and accessible warehouse.
- Monitor inventory levels and communicate shortages or supply needs.
- Prepare and stage parts and equipment for service calls and installation work.
- Assist with loading and unloading company vehicles.
- Safely operate warehouse equipment such as pallet jacks, hand carts, and forklifts when trained and authorized.

Parts Running & Field Support
- Pick up parts, equipment, and materials from local vendors.
- Deliver parts and equipment to technicians and job sites in a timely manner.
- Verify deliveries and maintain required paperwork or documentation.

- Help keep company vehicles, warehouse areas, tools, and materials organized and properly maintained.
- Provide general operational support to our service and installation teams as needed.

Required Qualifications
- High school diploma or equivalent.
- Valid driver’s license and acceptable driving record.

- Ability to work independently while communicating effectively with the team.
- Willingness to follow company safety procedures and use required PPE.
Preferred Qualifications
- Previous warehouse, delivery, construction, HVAC, refrigeration, or parts experience.
- Experience operating forklifts, pallet jacks, or similar warehouse equipment.
- Familiarity with commercial HVAC or refrigeration parts and equipment is a plus, but not required.
Work Environment
This position is primarily based out of our warehouse but includes frequent local driving to vendor locations, customer sites, and active job sites.
The position requires indoor and outdoor work in varying weather conditions and regular physical activity, including lifting, carrying, loading, unloading, and moving materials and equipment.
All employees are expected to follow company safety policies, customer site requirements, and applicable PPE requirements.
Compensation & Benefits
Pay Range: $20.00–$25.00 per hour, depending on experience.
Benefits include:
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Paid time off

Why Join Hoover?
This isn’t a position where you’re expected to sit around waiting for someone to tell you every little thing that needs to be done.
We’re looking for someone who notices when the warehouse needs attention, sees when something could be organized better, communicates when there is a problem, and takes pride in being someone the rest of the team can count on.
You’ll work alongside an experienced commercial HVAC and refrigeration team and have the opportunity to learn more about the industry while becoming an important part of our day-to-day operations.
