You will join a small, friendly team in a corporate and manufacturing setting where collaboration and open communication are encouraged.

You will have your own workstation and tools to perform your role effectively, while contributing to a positive, respectful, and team-oriented culture.

This position is based in a smaller stock room within a corporate and manufacturing facility rather than a large, traditional warehouse. You will work on a first shift schedule from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and be part of a small team of about five people, with approximately four others working in the packing area. Each team member has an individual workstation equipped with a computer, and daily work involves using SAP, RF scanners, electric pallet jacks, forklifts, and other standard warehouse tools. The environment is friendly and conversational, and you may occasionally interact with senior leaders such as vice presidents while performing your duties. Dress and conduct should be appropriate for a professional corporate and manufacturing setting.
