  • Accurately pull orders by type, style, and quantity

  • Load and unload trucks and rail cars using a forklift

  • Inspect materials for accuracy and damage

  • Assist drivers in safely securing and flagging loads

  • Restock inventory and organize materials in proper locations

  • Complete required paperwork (orders filled, receiving documents, forklift inspections)

  • Maintain a clean, safe, and organized yard

  • Assist with snow removal and ice control during winter months

  • Follow all safety procedures and wear required PPE

What We're Looking For

  • Stand and walk for extended periods

  • Bend, stoop, kneel, crouch, climb, and reach overhead

  • Work in all weather conditions

  • Operate forklifts and yard equipment
