• Office & Lab Upkeep: Maintain a clean, organized, and professional environment across our office and technical workspaces.
• Shipping & Receiving: Handle all incoming and outgoing mail and freight; verify shipments against packing slips and distribute parts to the correct teams.
• Inventory Management: Monitor supplies—from office snacks to basic hardware components—and restock items before they run out.
• Vendor Coordination: Meet delivery drivers, coordinate with cleaning or maintenance crews, and run local errands as needed to keep operations moving.
• Administrative Support: Assist with basic data entry, scanning documents, and helping set up rooms for meetings or team meals.
• Safety Support: Help ensure safety equipment (like first aid kits and fire extinguishers) is accessible and assist in maintaining a safe work floor.
• General "Fix-it" Tasks: Take initiative on small assembly tasks, moving furniture, or organizing storage areas to optimize our workspace.

Qualifications:

• 1-2 years of experience in a retail, warehouse, hospitality, or office environment; we are happy to train the right person.
• Reliability: A consistent track record of being on time and following through on assigned tasks.
• Physical Ability: Must be comfortable being on your feet for parts of the day and able to lift and move packages up to 40 lbs.
• Basic Tech Skills: Familiarity with email (Gmail/Outlook) and the ability to learn new software tools quickly.
• Strong Communication: Ability to follow verbal and written instructions and provide clear updates to the team.
• Attention to Detail: Ability to spot when supplies are low or when a shipment is missing a line item.
• Adaptability: A positive attitude when priorities change and a willingness to help out wherever is needed most.

Ideal Experience:

• Hands-on Background: Experience in a role that required physical organization or logistics (e.g., stockroom, delivery, or trades).
• Self-Starter: A history of taking initiative—if you see something that needs fixing or cleaning, you take care of it without being asked.
• Communication Tools: Familiarity with Slack or similar messaging apps for quick team coordination.
• File & Calendar Management: Familiarity with Google Workspace (Drive, Docs, Sheets) or Microsoft 365 to keep digital files organized and assist with managing team calendars and schedules.
• Resourcefulness: Ability to use the internet or local resources to solve basic problems or find specific supplies.
