• Modern, Growing Operation: We continue to invest in our facility, equipment, systems, and processes to make our team safer and more effective.

What You’ll Do

• Pick material and prepare customer orders accurately and efficiently.
• Package sheet, plate, tube, and other metal products to prevent damage during transportation.
• Build skids and other made-to-order packaging as required.
• Receive incoming shipments and verify material against purchase orders and supporting documentation.
• Inspect incoming and outgoing material for quantity, identification, condition, certifications, and accuracy.
• Maintain proper material traceability and accurate inventory records.
• Load, unload, move, and store material throughout the warehouse.
• Operate forklifts, saws, packaging equipment, and other warehouse equipment after required training.
• Prepare material and documentation for customer delivery or carrier pickup.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized warehouse and work area.
• Follow all safety procedures, PPE requirements, quality standards, and established processes.

• Participate in training and continuous improvement efforts.

What We’re Looking For

• Dependable and ready to work every day.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Ability to follow instructions and established procedures.
• Comfortable performing physical warehouse work, including standing, walking, bending, lifting, and carrying throughout the shift.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.
• Willingness to learn new equipment, systems, and processes.
• Previous warehouse, shipping/receiving, manufacturing, metals, or forklift experience is a plus, but not required for the right candidate.
