Position Overview


We are seeking a reliable and detail-oriented Shipping & Receiving Specialist to take ownership of a critical function within a growing precision manufacturing environment.

• Monitor vendor orders, follow up on timelines, and ensure timely returns
• Count and verify parts from production and coordinate with Quality Control
• Maintain accurate records and documentation using internal systems and Microsoft Office
• Respond to internal and customer inquiries regarding order status
• Assist with organization and workflow across departments as needed

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in shipping & receiving or a similar role
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy (this role requires a high level of precision)
• Comfortable working independently and managing priorities without constant direction
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook required)
• Experience with QuickBooks or similar systems preferred
• Strong communication skills (written and verbal)
• Ability to work with numbers, data, and inventory counts accurately
• Proven ability to work in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment

What We're Looking For

• Self-starter with a strong work ethic
• Organized and proactive problem-solver
• Comfortable communicating across multiple departments
• Someone who takes ownership and follows through

Physical Requirements

• Ability to lift up to 40 lbs
• Ability to stand and move throughout the day
• Hands-on, active role (not a desk job)

Benefits (Once Hired On)

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Annual bonus opportunity based on performance
• Stable, team-oriented work environment
