Material Handler

OREQA Technologies is a lean, fast-paced, high-quality manufacturing operation producing industrial products for demanding markets. Material Handlers keep production moving. Every build starts with the right part, in the right quantity, at the right station, at the right time. This role is critical to our zero-defect culture: a mislabeled bin, a wrong lot, or a missed shortage can stop a cell or put a defect into a customer's hands. The successful candidate will own the flow of material from receiving dock to production cell to shipping door, keeping inventory accurate and assembly technicians building instead of waiting.

We are looking for a self-starter who would be willing to wear multiple hats. We don't have silos. If a cell needs a line-side refill, if a truck just pulled in, if an order needs to go out today, if QA needs a suspect lot quarantined, you roll up your sleeves. Our north star: Zero quality defects. Every product. First-pass quality. That starts with the material.

• Receive incoming shipments; verify quantities, part numbers, and lot/serial information against purchase orders and packing slips
• Perform visual inspection for damage, wrong parts, or packaging issues; flag discrepancies to purchasing and QA before material is put away
• Label, stage, and put away material in designated, clearly marked locations
• Maintain accurate inventory records; perform cycle counts and support physical inventories
• Segregate and tag nonconforming or suspect material per quarantine procedures
• Rotate Stock using FIFO and monitor expiration dates where applicable

• Pull, kit, and deliver material to assembly cells according to work orders, pick lists, and build schedules
• Replenish line-side stock using kanban or min/max signals so stations never run dry
• Verify kits are complete and correct (part number, revision, quantity, lot) before delivery
• Record material issues, moves and scrap transactions in the ERP system accurately and in real time
• Anticipate shortages by reviewing upcoming builds; escalate risks early to production lead
• Remove empty containers, scrap, and packaging from the production floor to keep cells clean and clear

• Pick, pack, and label finished goods to customer and carrier requirements
• Verify shipment contents, serial numbers, and documentation before sealing
• Prepare packing lists, bills of lading, and shipping labels; coordinate carrier pickups
• Protect product with proper packaging to prevent damage in transit

• Suggest improvements to storage layout, kitting, labeling, and material flow
• Participate in lean initiatives (5S, kanban, visual controls, point-of-use storage)
• Support cell changeovers by staging material for new products and clearing previous-build material
• Report safety concerns, equipment issues, and inventory discrepancies proactively

Assist production and QA with non-assembly tasks as needed

• 1 years of experience in receiving, warehouse, inventory, or material handling in a manufacturing or distribution environment
• Accuracy with part numbers, quantities, and lot/serial tracking; understands that the wrong part at the station is a defect waiting to happen
• Ability to read pick lists, work orders, pack slips, labels/barcodes and perform accurate counts and unit conversions

• Equipment: Pallet jacks, carts, hand trucks; forklift certification preferred (or willingness to obtain within 30 days)
• Tools: Barcode scanners, label printers, tape measures, scales
• Systems: Basic computer skills; comfortable entering transactions in inventory or ERP software
• Math: Counting, unit conversions, and basic arithmetic for quantities and counts

• Attention to detail: Checks before moving, not after something goes wrong
• Documentation discipline: Every receipt, move, and shipment recorded accurately and on time
• Ownership: Thinks ahead about what production needs next; doesn't wait to be told a cell is short
• Safety-first mentality: Safe lifting, clear aisles, and proper equipment use every time

• Able to lift up to 50 lbs regularly and stand/walk for full shifts
• Able to bend, reach, and work in a warehouse and production environment

• Kanban, 5S, or lean warehouse experience
• ERP/MRP system experience (work orders, material issues, cycle counts, scrap transactions)
• Shipping experience with LTL/parcel carriers and freight documentation
• Experience in regulated or traceability-heavy industries (aerospace, medical, electronics, defense, automotive)
• Forklift, OSHA , or hazmat shipping certification

As OREQA grows, Material Handlers will have the opportunity to cross-train into Assembly Technician roles or other positions across production, quality, and operations.

Starting rate within the range depends on experience, forklift certification, and ERP/shipping background.
