• Examine outgoing shipments to confirm they meet specifications and shipping requirements.
• Maintain inventory of shipping materials and supplies, ensuring adequate stock to support shipping activities.
• Perform data entry and filing to track shipments and inventory, ensuring products are shipped on time and to the correct locations.
• Use ERP/MRP systems or inventory and shipment tracking software to record, update, and monitor shipping and receiving information.
• Collaborate with warehouse staff to support efficient distribution processes and resolve shipment issues.
• Optionally operate a forklift or use a hand truck to move, convey, or hoist shipments from the shipping and receiving platform to storage or work areas, when needed.

• At least 1 year of shipping and receiving experience in a warehouse or distribution environment.
• Minimum 1 year of experience using ERP/MRP systems or inventory and shipment tracking software.
• At least 6 months of data entry or filing experience with strong attention to detail.
• Ability to accurately compare and verify shipment information against bills of lading, invoices, orders, and other records.
• Strong organizational skills to maintain records and manage shipping materials and supplies.
• Ability to identify damaged items and record shortages or discrepancies in shipments.
• Proficiency in basic warehouse and shipping processes, including routing items to appropriate departments.
• Comfort working with computer-based systems for data entry and inventory tracking.
• Basic familiarity with shipping tools and platforms such as Worldship or similar systems.
• Ability to work independently and maintain accuracy in a fast-paced distribution environment.

• Experience working in a warehouse or large distribution facility.
• Knowledge of general inventory control practices and procedures.
• Familiarity with Worldship or comparable shipping software.
• Experience with forklift operation or using hand trucks to move shipments, considered a plus.
• Ability to navigate a large warehouse and coordinate with multiple departments.
• Strong communication skills to work effectively with warehouse and production teams.
• Reliability and consistency in meeting shipping deadlines and maintaining accurate records.

Employees join a well-organized and clean distribution environment that values accuracy, efficiency, and teamwork. The facility offers a structured setting where processes are clearly defined, and modern systems support daily operations. Team members have the opportunity to develop their skills in shipping, inventory, and data management while contributing to a smooth and reliable distribution operation.
