• Assist internal and external customers with product identification, inventory status, and order inquiries in a professional manner.
• Handle materials of varying sizes and weights, including maneuvering loads up to 100 lbs as required.
• Follow all warehouse safety procedures and equipment operating guidelines to reduce risk and ensure a safe workplace.

Essential Skills

• Previous warehouse or general labor experience, preferably in a high-volume environment.
• Ability to count items accurately and maintain attention to detail when picking and packing orders.
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and maneuver loads up to 100 lbs safely and repeatedly throughout the shift.
• Experience with RF devices (electronic RF scan guns) for inventory tracking and order processing.
• Experience with order picking and warehouse operations, including shipping, receiving, and inventory handling.
• Ability to operate forklifts, pallet jacks, and push carts or a willingness to learn and be certified as required.

• Effective English communication skills to interact with customers and coworkers and to understand work instructions.
• Comfort working in both indoor and outdoor areas in varying weather conditions, including hot summers and cold winters.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Receiving-focused experience in a warehouse environment, including checking, unloading, and organizing incoming materials.
• Experience as a material handler with responsibilities such as order pulling, shipping, and receiving.
• Familiarity with plumbing-related materials, such as metal and PVC piping, bolts, and fasteners.
• Experience working in large warehouse settings with diverse inventory types and sizes.
• Demonstrated reliability and strong work ethic in physically demanding roles.
• Ability to prioritize tasks and organize staging areas to support efficient workflow.
• Comfort assisting both internal teams and external customers in a service-oriented environment.

Why Work Here?

This opportunity offers long-term stability and significant potential for professional growth in a busy warehouse environment.

You will join a supportive, growth-minded workplace where your effort, reliability, and willingness to learn are recognized.

Work Environment

The role is based in a large warehouse filled with plumbing supplies, including 10–15 foot pipes, small bolts, and fasteners.

The environment is active and physically demanding, involving frequent lifting, maneuvering heavy materials, and operating equipment such as forklifts, pallet jacks, push carts, RF scan guns, and computer systems at the will-call booth. The facility emphasizes cleanliness and organization, with regular sweeping and mopping to maintain a safe and orderly workspace.
