Responsibilities

• Use a headset and voice-directed system to listen to and follow order instructions accurately.
• Operate a walkie rider and pallet jack safely to navigate the warehouse and transport products.
• Select and pick products according to order requirements, maintaining correct product numbers and quantities.

• Use RF scanners to scan products, verify inventory, and ensure accurate order fulfillment.
• Support shipping and receiving activities, including loading and unloading products as needed.
• Handle materials safely and efficiently to minimize damage and maintain product quality.
• Operate forklifts and tow motors as required for moving pallets and inventory within the warehouse.
• Follow all safety procedures and guidelines while operating equipment and working in the warehouse.
• Work scheduled shifts consistently, including staying until 1–2 AM when business needs require it.
• Collaborate with team members and supervisors to maintain an organized, efficient, and clean work area.

Essential Skills

• Comfort operating sit-down forklifts and other powered industrial trucks.
• Ability to adapt to changing workload and increasing business volume.
• Strong work ethic and reliability, with a commitment to safety and teamwork.

Why Work Here?

You will join a growing organization with increasing business volume, creating strong opportunities for long-term stability and advancement. As the operation expands, you can benefit from performance-based pay growth and the chance to move into permanent roles with comprehensive benefits. The workplace values hard work, reliability, and teamwork, offering a supportive environment where your productivity and contributions are recognized and rewarded.

Work Environment

This position is based in a warehouse facility that is climate controlled in certain areas, providing a more comfortable working temperature for much of the shift. The shipping and receiving areas may have doors open, creating a more variable environment in those zones.

Shifts for order picking run Monday through Friday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and shifts for tow motor operations run Sunday through Thursday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, with the expectation that you may work until 1–2 AM when required by production demands.
