Job Description

A day in the life at NPAA

You arrive ready to keep product moving. You review your pick sheets, scan items to their next destination, and coordinate the flow of incoming raw materials and outgoing finished goods.

When something looks off, you alert your supervisor right away. You contribute ideas in improvement huddles and keep your skills sharp in company-sponsored training. By the end of your shift, materials have moved exactly where they need to be, on time.
