  • Move, stage, and organize materials and finished products throughout the facility.
  • Use measuring tapes, saws, nail guns, clamps, and other hand or power tools.
  • Use computer and ERP systems to access and process pick lists.
  • Inspect packaged products for quality and shipment readiness.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.
  • Follow all workplace health and safety procedures.

This is an active, hands-on position that involves regular standing, walking, bending, reaching, and handling materials. The role requires lifting and moving products and materials, with team lifting or material-handling equipment used for heavier or bulky items. The position is based in a manufacturing and warehouse environment where employees may work around machinery, forklift traffic, noise, vibration, and varying temperatures.
