When you join KIK Consumer Products, you’re joining a team that cares about the work we do and also about each other. We bring exceptional brands and products to consumers that help them protect the health and wellness of their families and the cleanliness of their homes and pools. We are committed to building a culture of performance driven by accountability, collaboration, and agility that enables timely fact-based decision-making and exceptional execution with unwavering ethics.

Your Role at KIK

Join our team as the Receiving Coordinator on 1st shift (Monday – Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm and overtime on Saturdays as required) at our Houston facility, you are the first line of accountability for everything that enters this plant. Every drum, tote, pallet, and package that reaches our production floor passes through your verification first — and that verification is what protects our formulations, our production schedule, and our regulatory standing.

You will match inbound freight against purchase orders and vendor documentation, validate quality certifications on incoming chemical and packaging components, document every discrepancy, and release material for inspection so production never waits on paperwork. You will work shoulder to shoulder with Quality Assurance, Inventory Control, Purchasing, and Logistics, and you will be the person carriers and drivers deal with when they arrive on site.

This role is built for someone who takes pride in precision. In chemical manufacturing, an unverified receipt is a risk to product quality and to the people on our lines — you are the checkpoint that makes sure that risk never reaches the floor. This position has a base salary range of $23.69 per hour.

• Prepare OS&D (Overage, Shortage, and Damage) documentation on all receipt discrepancies and damages, escalating to Purchasing and QA as required.

• Confirm that inbound material carries the correct KIK item numbers when the product is part of a Bill of Material (BOM).

• Scan and route Bills of Lading to the appropriate departments, and deliver COAs and COCs to the proper QA personnel.

• Verify that all Return Goods Authorizations (RGA) carry proper approvals before return shipments leave the site.

• File receiving documentation so the site stays audit-ready at all times.

• Follow all site safety, GMP, and chemical handling requirements, including required PPE and SDS protocols.

• Operate a sit-down forklift to unload, stage, and put away inbound material safely and efficiently.

• Check in drivers and review the KIK Driver Rule Sheet with them, holding carriers to site safety expectations.

• Receive, catalog, and distribute UPS and FedEx small-package shipments.

• Handle all functions related to the processing of miscellaneous orders.

• Participate in cycle counts and plant physical inventory.
