Glass Plant Material Flow Technician

Carlex Glass Manufacturing

Job Description

Shape the flow of glass from dock to production

Step into a fast-paced manufacturing warehouse where your skill on a forklift and eye for detail keep our operation moving. From the moment a trailer backs into a bay to the second finished product ships out, you ensure materials are received accurately, staged precisely, and stored safely.

What a day looks like

You begin with the OSHA-required pre-shift inspection of your forklift and a quick scan of the floor for any loose wood or plastic. A truck arrives—raw glass and supplies. You unload, inspect for accuracy or damage, note shortages or quality issues, and move materials to the correct production or storage locations. You place raw glass carefully into the robot staging area so production never waits. Between runs, you remove scrap and recyclables to designated dumpsters, straighten pallets and racks, and confirm every load is secured before transport or storage. You close out by processing Bills of Lading and ASNs and reporting any equipment or rack damage you spotted.

Core responsibilities

Load and unload raw and finished goods from trucks
Inspect incoming freight for accuracy and visible damage; report shortages/quality issues
Transport materials to and from designated production areas
Safely stage raw glass for robotic consumption
Stack products in racks or assigned floor locations; move empty pallets/racks as directed
Verify all loads are secure for in-plant movement, storage, or outbound shipment
Remove scrap, recyclables, and waste to designated dumpsters; keep aisles clear and swept
Complete OSHA-required daily pre-shift forklift inspection and operate per OSHA rules
Report faulty equipment, rack damage, or safety hazards to your supervisor
Process department paperwork (Bills of Lading, ASNs, etc.)
Pitch in with other duties as assigned
