• Maintain the warehouse in a clean and orderly condition
• Build and maintain knowledge of company products
• Manage paperwork and reports as required
• Attend scheduled meetings and training sessions

Driving & Delivery Duties:

• Secure materials: Physically handle and carefully secure building materials (laminates, plywood, solid surfaces) onto the truck, ensuring safe transport
• Safe transportation: Drive commercial vehicles to deliver materials from our warehouse to customer locations across Southern New Jersey & Greater Philadelphia.
• Customer delivery & unloading: Work directly with customers at delivery sites, assisting with unloading and ensuring materials arrive in perfect condition
• Vehicle inspections & maintenance: Perform thorough pre- and post-trip inspections, verify cargo is properly secured, and maintain accurate logs of vehicle repair status and working hours
• Safety & compliance: Follow all safety procedures for cargo transport, adhere to traffic laws, and maintain compliance with DOT regulations

What We're Looking For

Licensing & Credentials:

• High School Diploma or equivalent
• Valid CDL A with clean driving record and clean MVR; must pass DOT physical and drug screening
• Forklift Driver's license, or willingness to be trained

Experience & Skills:

• Minimum one year of commercial driving experience preferred
• Reliable, detail-oriented, and eager to learn
• Strong communication and customer service skills
• Self-starter who works well independently and as part of a team

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to lift up to 70 lbs. and remain on your feet for extended periods
• Able to work in varying weather conditions while remaining alert and focused
• Available for shift work
