- Quality Control: Perform a final visual inspection of products and labeling before they leave the facility to ensure 100% accuracy and brand consistency.
- Inventory Coordination: Maintain accurate records of finished goods inventory and shipping supplies; alert management of potential shortages.
- Equipment Operation: Safely operate pallet jacks, carts, and basic fabrication tools used for custom crating or packaging adjustments.
- Safety & Organization: Maintain a clean, streamlined shipping/receiving dock and warehouse area to ensure a safe and efficient workflow.
Qualifications
- Experience: Previous experience in shipping, receiving, or manufacturing packaging is preferred.
- Technical Skills: Ability to use shipping software (UPS, FedEx, DHL) and basic ERP/inventory systems.
- Physical Stamina: Ability to stand for long periods and lift up to 50 lbs regularly.
- Detail-Oriented: A "zero-defect" mindset regarding labeling, part numbers, and shipping addresses.
- Adaptability: Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-mix environment
- Teamwork: Strong communication skills to collaborate with the assembly and engineering teams on production timelines.
