A Taste of What You'll Do

We’re looking for a dependable and safety-focused team member to join our warehouse and production support operation in a hands-on role that helps keep products moving efficiently and accurately. In this position, you’ll operate clamp trucks and forklifts to pick customer orders, load and unload trucks and rail cars, move finished goods into storage, and support a clean, organized workspace through routine floor scrubber operation.

You’ll use warehouse management and inventory systems to scan product LPNs, perform cycle counts, complete data entry, update and close work orders, and help verify that pallet patterns, print, and packaging meet work order requirements. You’ll learn standard processes, stretch wrapper operations, and technical procedures while building new skills and contributing to continuous improvement efforts.

 

We welcome candidates who take pride in doing quality work, communicating clearly, and supporting a respectful, inclusive, and positive work environment. This role is a great fit for someone who values safety, reliability, and collaboration across operations and supply chain teams. If you’re motivated to learn, ready to follow established procedures, and interested in growing your skills in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, we encourage you to apply.
