  • Manage Inventory: Keep tight control with accurate records, assist in physical inventories, ensure proper stock rotation, and restock materials as needed.
  • Additional Duties: Maintain a clean, safe, and orderly workspace while adhering to all safety protocols and double pallet jack operation procedures.

  • Physical Ability: Capable of repetitive lifting up to 100 lbs, and able to sit, stand, bend, and walk for extended periods.
  • Equipment Experience: Ability to operate material handling equipment like a double pallet jack (certification a plus, but training provided).
  • Work Ethic: Proven attendance history, a strong sense of urgency, and the ability to meet deadlines and quality standards.
  • Teamwork: Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Requirements: Valid driver's license (not suspended) with a good driving record.
