Job Description

The Material Handler supports restroom partition manufacturing by ensuring production lines remain supplied with raw materials, work-in-process, and by promptly removing finished goods and scrap.

Individuals ready to show up everyday ready to contribute to a positive work environment are encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities

• Move work-in-process materials between production steps to maintain smooth workflow across the line.
• Return excess materials to appropriate staging or inventory locations in an organized manner.
• Handle scrap removal from the line and ensure proper disposal or recycling according to procedures.
• Operate forklifts, pallet jacks, carts, and similar material handling equipment to move materials safely and efficiently.
• Keep the production line area organized, clean, and free of obstructions by following 5S principles.
• Communicate with line leads and supervisors to understand and respond to material needs and production priorities.
• Support general production activities as needed, including assisting with basic assembly, machine operation, or inspection tasks.

Essential Skills

• Experience in general production, warehouse production, or material handling in a manufacturing setting (preferred).
• Comfortable lifting 40 to 50 pounds regularly during the shift.
• Ability to stand, bend, lift, and perform repetitive tasks for the duration of the shift.
• Basic ability to read work instructions and follow written and verbal directions.
• Background in production, general labor, assembly, machine operation, or inspection (preferred).
• Prior material handling, warehouse, or manufacturing experience preferred.
• Forklift experience helpful or willingness to be trained on forklift operation.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Prior forklift experience of about 2+ years is beneficial and may align with higher pay rates.
• Experience moving sheet metal, panels, and fabricated components in a production environment.
• Familiarity with operating pallet jacks, carts, and other material handling equipment.
• Comfort working around manufacturing and assembly line machinery.
• Interest in learning and following 5S and continuous improvement practices.
