Warehouse Specialist

Wilmington, DE | Full-Time | Operations | Saf-Gard Safety Shoe Company

This Warehouse Specialist role supports internal warehouse operations focused on stocking, pulling inventory and shipping product to other Saf-Gard locations and retail partners. Unlike our direct-to-customer site, this location primarily moves products between internal warehouses and distribution points.

• Prepare outbound shipments for other Saf-Gard warehouse locations, including New Castle and other non-Delaware sites
• Print and manage labels for outbound shipments (warehouse management system / WMS activity)
• Stage product for shipment and ensure correct order accuracy
• Wrap and palletize outbound product for transport (packing and shipping / outbound logistics)
• Coordinate movement of product to internal distribution locations

• Experience in warehouse jobs, warehouse worker roles, warehouse specialist, or material handler positions
• Ability to perform order picking, stocking, and shipping and receiving tasks
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced distribution center environment
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to inventory accuracy and quality control

• Experience with order picker, warehouse operations or inventory control systems
• Familiarity with cycle counts, stock replenishment, or outbound logistics
• Previous experience in internal distribution or inter-warehouse shipping
• Experience using warehouse management systems (WMS)
• Experience working in high-volume warehouse environments

• Full-time position
• Weekend availability required
• Schedules are subject to change; confirmation provided prior to interview

• Company-paid dental, vision, long-term disability, short-term disability, and life insurance beginning the first of the month after 60 days
• Multi-tiered medical insurance plans to choose from (benefits valued at over $10,000 annually)
• 8 paid holidays per year
• PTO available after 90 days (3.08 hours per pay period; approx. 1.5 weeks annually), with opportunities to earn additional PTO based on tenure
• 401(k) plan with 50% employer match on first 6% of employee base pay

We've been in the safety footwear business for more than 40 years. We know safety matters. We also know relationships matter. That's why we work hard to make things easier for our customers and for each other.

At Saf-Gard, you're not just another employee buried in a corporate machine. We're a close-knit family that believes in working hard, helping each other out and treating people the right way. We've built a culture around trust, teamwork and common sense.
