- Pick, pack, and prepare customer orders for shipment utilizing RF scanners, managing inventory ranging from small individual boxes to full bulk pallets.
- Safely receive inbound freight, verifying product accuracy before correctly organizing and storing materials within the warehouse.
- Execute routine inventory cycle counts to ensure high-accuracy stock levels and systematically record any damaged or defective products.
- Utilize material handling equipment including forklifts, pallet jacks, rolling ladders, and push carts to navigate the facility efficiently.
- Maintain a highly organized, safe, and clean industrial workspace, actively contributing to the team's daily production goals.
What we are looking for:
- A dependable professional committed to a consistent Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM shift, with the flexibility for occasional on-call or mandatory overtime.
- Previous experience in a fast-paced warehouse, distribution center, or industrial manufacturing environment is preferred.
- Proven comfort or willingness to be trained on material handling machinery (forklifts, wire-cutters, and pallet jacks).
- Physical stamina to stand for extended periods, walk the facility floors, and consistently lift up to 50 lbs.
- Basic computer literacy and problem-solving skills to manage inventory tracking systems and digital RF scanners.
- A safety-first team player who arrives daily in compliance with the facility's dress code (Steel Toe Shoes, High-Vis vest/shirt, and pants with belt loops).
