Summary
Under general supervision, the Warehouse Clerk assists with the receipt, storage, and issuance of warehouse materials, tools, and equipment. This position supports daily warehouse operations by performing routine clerical and manual tasks, maintaining inventory records, and assisting in annual warehouse audits. The Clerk receives guidance and training from the Warehouse Technician and provides reliable support for daily warehouse functions. This is the entry-level classification in the warehouse series. Incumbents perform routine clerical and manual duties in support of warehouse operations, including checking in deliveries, distributing parts, and maintaining organized storage areas. Work is performed under close supervision with limited independent decision-making responsibility. The Warehouse Clerk differs from the Warehouse Technician in that the Technician exercises greater independence, maintains more complex records, assists with training, and oversees the Clerk's daily work. Both positions report to the Senior Administrative Analyst, who has overall supervisory and program responsibility.
