Job Description

Step into a day where precision moves product

Before most orders hit the road, you’ve already checked system queues, walked key aisles, and confirmed cycle counts. A truck backs in—you inspect and count the freight, scan it into the warehouse management system, and stage items for stocking. Minutes later, you’re assembling customer orders, palletizing, and moving them to pack-out. Between tasks, you coach teammates on processes and help troubleshoot inventory variances—always with safety and speed in mind.

• Locate, receive, store, stock, pick, and ship merchandise with exceptional accuracy.
• Assemble and verify customer orders, palletize, and deliver to packing stations.
• Receive, inspect, and count daily inbound freight; record details in the WMS.
• Investigate and resolve discrepancies involving freight, inventory variances, and shipping paperwork.
• Execute and reconcile daily cycle counts to keep on-hand balances precise.
• Update product locations and maintain impeccable data integrity in the system each day.
• Process, evaluate, and restock returns according to established procedures.
• Monitor and action system queues quickly and accurately.
