When you join KIK Consumer Products, you're joining a team that cares about the work we do and also about each other. We bring exceptional brands and products to consumers that help them protect the health and wellness of their families and the cleanliness of their homes and pools. We are committed to building a culture of performance driven by accountability, collaboration, and agility that enables timely fact-based decision-making and exceptional execution with unwavering ethics.

Your Role at KIK

Join our team as the Receiving Coordinator on 1st shift (Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 4:30 pm and overtime on Saturdays as required) at our Houston facility, you are the first line of accountability for everything that enters this plant. Every drum, tote, pallet, and package that reaches our production floor passes through your verification first - and that verification is what protects our formulations, our production schedule, and our regulatory standing.

You will match inbound freight against purchase orders and vendor documentation, validate quality certifications on incoming chemical and packaging components, document every discrepancy, and release material for inspection so production never waits on paperwork. You will work shoulder to shoulder with Quality Assurance, Inventory Control, Purchasing, and Logistics, and you will be the person carriers and drivers deal with when they arrive on site.
