Summary

Looking for a hands-on warehouse opportunity with competitive pay and a great team? Join DSV in Franklin, MA and earn $26.00–$28.00 per hour!

DSV is seeking a dependable, detail-oriented Warehouse Material Handler / Loader to support specialized warehouse operations involving the careful handling, staging, loading, and unloading of data center server racks and related equipment requiring white-glove care and precision.

Unlike traditional warehouse operations, this position requires a heightened level of attention to detail, specialized handling procedures, and a strong commitment to protecting shipment integrity. You'll work closely with warehouse team members, drivers, and Team Leads to ensure equipment is properly inspected, positioned, secured, and prepared for transportation.

Responsibilities also include operating material-handling equipment and a company box truck to transport equipment between warehouse facilities and designated storage areas.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, follows established procedures, and understands the importance of precision, safety, and accountability. Previous warehouse or freight-handling experience is preferred, and experience with white-glove logistics, specialized freight handling, or delicate equipment is a plus.

This opportunity offers competitive hourly pay, a team-oriented work environment, and the opportunity to develop specialized logistics skills, all backed by one of the world's leading transport and logistics companies.

Start Here. Go Anywhere.

• Safely operate a company box truck to transport equipment between warehouse facilities and designated storage areas, conduct required pre-trip inspections, report vehicle defects or safety concerns, and comply with applicable traffic laws, company policies, and vehicle safety requirements.
• Conduct visual inspections of equipment, crates, pallets, packaging, and protective materials to identify damage, missing components, unstable packaging, or other discrepancies.
• Verify shipment identification, quantities, labels, and documentation, and complete required photographs, inspection records, loading checklists, and shipment documentation.
