No prior experience is required, but you must be reliable, and comfortable performing repetitive, physically demanding tasks throughout your shift.

Responsibilities

• Lift, move, and handle heavy doors throughout the entire shift, including items weighing up to 80 pounds, using team lifting for heavier loads to distribute weight safely.
• Pick and stage doors according to load sheets or instructions, ensuring the correct doors are selected for each order.
• Accurately load doors into the correct trucks, verifying that each door matches the designated shipment and destination.

• Maintain a high level of attention to detail to prevent loading errors and ensure that all orders are complete and accurate.
• Perform repetitive lifting and movement of materials in a safe and efficient manner throughout the shift.
• Follow all safety guidelines, including the use of required personal protective equipment such as eye protection and high-visibility vests.
• Adapt to changing workload demands and stay until work is completed, which may require working later than the scheduled end time.
• Demonstrate strong reliability by arriving on time, being prepared for work, and maintaining a consistent work ethic each day.
• Assist with general warehouse housekeeping to keep work areas organized and free of hazards.

Essential Skills

• Ability to lift up to 80 pounds safely and repeatedly throughout the shift.
• Physical fitness and stamina to perform heavy lifting and repetitive, labor-intensive work for the full duration of the shift.
• Willingness to perform general labor tasks, including loading, unloading, and moving materials in a warehouse environment.
• Strong attention to detail to ensure the correct doors are picked and loaded into the correct trucks.
• Reliability and strong work ethic, including consistently showing up on time and being dependable.
• Flexibility with end-of-shift times, with the ability to stay later when workload requires.
• Comfort working with hand tools and basic material handling equipment such as pallet jacks.
• Ability to work effectively as part of a small team in a production and warehouse setting.
• Comfort working around heavy equipment, doors, and other large materials.

• Experience in loading, unloading, or material handling is a plus.
• Exposure to furniture installation, furniture manufacturing, or door installation environments can be beneficial.
• Experience using forklifts or other heavy equipment is a plus, though not required for consideration.
• Previous work in landscaping, construction, or other heavy-duty labor roles is advantageous.

Why Work Here?

You will join a team-oriented operation that values reliability, safety, and recognition for hard work.

Safety is a core focus, highlighted by dedicated safety weeks held twice a year, where employees receive awards and giveaways as appreciation for their commitment and performance. You can expect a culture that rewards showing up, contributing consistently, and working together to get the job done.

Work Environment

This role is based in a wood shop manufacturing facility, working primarily in the warehouse area where doors are built, staged, and sent out. The environment can be congested at times, with many doors and materials moving through the space, requiring awareness and safe movement. You will work on the 2nd shift, typically starting between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. and working until around 10:00 p.m., with the possibility of staying as late as around midnight depending on workload. The team structure includes working with approximately 45 coworkers, either in a line or at individual stations, fostering a collaborative and coordinated workflow.
