• Follow written work instructions precisely to ensure correct product selection, handling, and routing.
• Support general warehouse activities such as picking, packing, scanning, loading, unloading, shipping, and receiving as needed.
• Operate or work around warehouse equipment such as forklifts or order pickers if trained and assigned.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area in alignment with cleanroom and warehouse standards.
• Collaborate with team members in close quarters to keep material flow steady and support production demands.
• Adhere to all cleanroom gowning, attire, and safety requirements at all times while working in or supporting the cleanroom environment.

• Ability to accurately count products, including breaking down larger pack quantities into specific counts (for example, counting 40 from a pack of 100).
• Ability to stand for an entire shift of approximately 8 hours.
• Ability to lift up to 20 pounds on a regular basis.
• Ability to follow written work instructions with strong attention to detail.
• Comfort with extensive walking and physical activity throughout the shift.
• Willingness to work in close quarters with other team members.

• Availability to work 1st shift (approximately 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with every other Saturday overtime from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.) or 2nd shift (Monday–Friday, approximately 2:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. with Saturday overtime as needed).

• Previous warehouse experience, particularly in picking or distribution environments.
• Prior manufacturing or warehouse experience involving shipping, receiving, or packing.
• Previous cleanroom experience, including working under gowning and strict cleanliness protocols.
• Experience with kit assembly, especially in a production or distribution setting.
• Background in medical kit assembly or similar highly regulated, cleanliness-focused environments.
• Familiarity with RF scanners, order pickers, and other warehouse material handling equipment.

You will join a highly regarded employer recognized as a top workplace, where people genuinely enjoy coming to work. The facility offers clean, organized, and well-structured operations that make day-to-day work straightforward and efficient. There is a strong culture of internal promotion, with many leaders having started in entry-level roles, providing clear pathways for advancement into supervisory and leadership positions. The organization supports career growth, including fully funded relocation opportunities for new roles across the broader network. With a long track record of consistent year-over-year growth, you can build a stable, long-term career in a company that invests in its people and their development.

The work takes place in a cleanroom kit assembly and warehouse facility that is described as super clean, world-class, and highly organized. Material handlers work in a warehouse setting with conveyors, RF scanners, totes, and potentially forklifts or order pickers, supporting a steady flow of products into the cleanroom. Assemblers and material handlers support operations in close quarters and must fully gown up to enter and work in the cleanroom, following strict cleanliness and contamination control standards. The role requires standing for most of an 8-hour shift, frequent walking, and lifting up to 20 pounds. Shifts include a 1st shift (approximately 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.) with every other Saturday overtime from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., and a 2nd shift (Monday–Friday, approximately 2:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.) with Saturday overtime as needed.
