Warehouse Person/3rd Shift/Nights

Since 1892, Shepherd Electric Supply has been the first call when complex, time-critical electrical challenges need to be solved, and reliability truly matters. We move materials accurately and on time, so contractors stay on schedule, projects stay on track, and customers never have to wonder if we will come through.
Our success comes from people who take pride in doing things the right way - safely, accurately, and with care for teammates and customers alike. Every order that leaves the Sterling branch passes through the shipping department. That means every contractor waiting on wire, every job site running against a deadline, and every customer who counts on Shepherd depends on this role being done right.
The Warehouse Associate - Night Shift is not just a packing station. When shipping is accurate - right product, right quantity, right documentation - customers stay on schedule and Shepherd's reputation holds. This role is for someone who pays attention when the pace is high, who catches the mistake before it leaves the building, and who understands that their work is the final stamp of quality on everything Shepherd promises to deliver.
Work Shift and Hours:

~ Monday - Friday, 7:00pm - 4:00am

The expected pay rate for this position is starting at $20.00 - $22.00 per hour depending on experience.

Every outbound order you touch is a promise Shepherd made to a customer. If it goes out wrong, someone's job site feels it.
You notice what slows the shipping floor down and you say something. You look for a smarter staging sequence, a faster verification habit, a better way to document exceptions. Shipping does not work in isolation. You coordinate with the warehouse team, counter sales, and dispatch every day. Ownership in shipping means the customer never finds out about the mistake.
You make sure will-call orders are staged before customers arrive. That's what above-and-beyond looks like on a shipping dock.
