Midday, you reconcile cycle counts, chase down inventory discrepancies, and update locations to keep the warehouse management system precise. Throughout, you operate forklifts and reach trucks safely, keep aisles organized, and lend guidance to teammates who look to you for process know‑how.

• Investigate and resolve issues with freight, inventory variances, and shipping paperwork.
• Execute and reconcile daily cycle counts to maintain inventory integrity.
• Maintain and update product locations; safeguard system data accuracy every day.
• Process and restock returns following established procedures.

• Keep the warehouse clean, orderly, and compliant with safety and sanitation standards.
• Maintain a steady, productive pace to hit daily shipping and receiving deadlines.
• Offer operational support and guidance to team members on processes and systems.
