T14 Sarasota - Sarasota, FL 34240

Overview

Position Type Full Time Job Shift Day Education Level High School Category Warehouse

Description

Warehouse Associate, Backup Non-CDL Driver

You are the kind of person who notices what others miss, takes ownership without being asked, and leaves every shift knowing the work was done right. Tropic Supply was built by people like you.

Full-Time | Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM | Sarasota, FL | Tropic Supply, Inc.

Two Roles. One Standard.

This position is primarily warehouse work with a real secondary responsibility. When the operation needs coverage, you get behind the wheel. That means we need someone who is excellent in the warehouse and qualified and professional on the road. If you bring both, this is a stable, long-term role inside Florida's largest independent, family-owned HVAC and refrigeration distribution company.

Why Tropic Supply

We have been family-owned and operated for more than 53 years. That kind of longevity does not happen by accident. It happens because we take care of the people who take care of us, our customers and our team alike, and we are looking for someone who wants to be part of a team that stays.

What You Will Own

In the warehouse, where you will spend most of your time:

• Load and unload trucks and trailers, positioning and securing pallets safely
• Pull and fill orders with accuracy, then stage them for shipment
• Receive and stock incoming inventory, and complete basic shipping and receiving documentation
• Verify parts, serial numbers, and paperwork against physical inventory at every step
• Support cycle counts and inventory audits
• Operate a sit-down forklift, pallet jacks, and hand trucks, including required pre-shift equipment checks

As a backup driver, when the operation calls for you:

• Safely operate Tropic Supply vans and light box trucks under 26,001 lbs GVWR on local routes
• Complete pre-trip and post-trip inspections
• Verify product accuracy and handle delivery documentation
• Represent Tropic Supply professionally at every stop

Safe operation and accurate paperwork are non-negotiable.

• Assist counter sales with order fulfillment and help customers load product safely
• Keep the warehouse clean and organized to standard

Attention to detail is not a soft skill here. It is the job. A wrong pull or a missed serial number creates a real problem for a contractor downstream, and we hold that standard every day.
