About the role
Our Warehouse Associate / Parts Runner keeps our technicians supplied and on the job. You’ll receive freight, keep the warehouse and yard organized, and deliver parts to our crews in the field. This is a vital position: our crews and our freight deliveries count on you being here on time every day. Hours are typically 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with an early start to receive incoming trucks.
What you’ll do
- Check in freight against packing slips and report shortages, damage, and back-orders
- Label and put away stock, help with cycle counts, and stage parts for upcoming jobs
- Deliver parts from our warehouse, or pick them up from supply houses, and run them to crews in the field on routes set by our dispatchers
- Return warranty and unused materials to vendors
- Drive an LSM company vehicle (not take-home), occasionally towing equipment on a flatbed trailer
- Operate a forklift and pallet jack to load, unload, and move freight
- Keep the warehouse, yard, and loading areas clean and safe, including trash and recycling inside and out, and the office trash
What you need
- Reliable attendance, and reliable transportation to get to work in all weather
- A valid Washington driver’s license (no CDL required) and a clean driving record. You must qualify under our company auto insurance.
- Forklift experience (we’ll complete our own certification)
- Strong attention to detail, someone who catches the mistake on the packing slip before it becomes a wasted trip
- The ability to lift up to 50 lbs, help with team lifts of heavier equipment, and work outdoors in Pacific Northwest weather
- Comfort using a smartphone and basic computer or tablet tools
Nice to have
- Warehouse, receiving, or delivery experience
- Familiarity with HVAC, plumbing, or electrical parts
