Job Description

The Warehouse Associate plays a vital role in the company’s mission to equip law enforcement agencies, crime laboratories, and forensic professionals with the highest-quality evidence collection supplies, crime scene tools, and laboratory consumables. Operating in a fast-paced, climate-controlled warehouse environment, this position ensures that every forensic kit, swab, evidence bag, and specialized instrument reaches customers accurately, on time, and in pristine condition. Accuracy, attention to detail, and a commitment to maintaining strict inventory integrity are essential, as the products handled directly support criminal investigations where chain-of-custody standards begin at our dock.  Hours 7:00-3:30 Mon-Fri.

- Unload incoming freight from carriers using pallet jacks, forklifts, and hand trucks. 
- Inspect shipments for damage, verify quantities and part numbers against purchase orders, and accurately receive items into the inventory management system. 
- Flag and quarantine any non-conforming forensic supplies (expired reagents, damaged tamper-evident packaging) to prevent their use in evidence collection. 

**Shipping and Order Fulfillment** 
- Pick, pack, and ship customer orders with precision, selecting the correct forensic products while observing special handling requirements for light-sensitive chemicals, sterile items, and temperature-controlled supplies. 
- Use proper cushioning, sealing, and labeling techniques to ensure evidence-collection materials arrive undamaged and ready for immediate field or lab use. 
- Prepare shipping documents, commercial invoices, and HazMat declarations when required, while meeting same-day and next-day turnaround goals for urgent law enforcement requests. 

**Warehouse Maintenance** 
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe warehouse environment by sweeping, dusting, and performing daily 5S audits. 
- Conduct regular cycle counts and shelf-life checks on perishable forensic consumables. 
- Follow all safety protocols, including proper PPE usage, ergonomic lifting techniques, and hazardous material storage guidelines. 
-  Ability to lift 15 lbs, and be on your feet all day.
