• Inspect incoming materials for damage, contamination, or discrepancies; escalate issues
immediately and document findings.
• Accurately identify and differentiate materials across 1,000+ active SKUs, many with similar or near -
identical names — this requires genuine attention to detail, not a casual read.

• Operate sit -down and stand -up forklifts to move palletized materials safely and efficiently. Forklift
certification required.
• Conduct cycle counts and assist with periodic physical inventory audits.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and OSHA -compliant warehouse at all times.
• Flag and quarantine non -conforming materials; assist with disposition decisions.
Shipping & Outbound
• Pick, pack, and stage outbound orders per shipping documentation, ensuring correct product,
quantity, and labeling on every shipment.
• Generate BOLs, packing lists, and shipping labels; coordinate with carriers for pickup scheduling.
• Verify hazardous material shipping compliance requirements are met for applicable products
(training provided).
• Communicate proactively with the production and sales teams regarding order status and any
shipment delays.
General Operations
• Support production team with material movement and staging as needed.
• Assist with waste/drum management and proper labeling of materials in storage.
