Material Handler – 1st Shift

Your Impact – Big and Bold!

As a Material Handler, you’re the driving force behind the scenes—safely operating forklifts and straddle lifts to move big materials and keep everything running like clockwork. You’ll navigate the floor with purpose, keeping the line stocked, the team moving, and the trucks rolling.

What a Day in Your Life Looks Like:

• Own the details - log item numbers for unidentified materials to keep inventory on point
• Use your tech skills - leverage JDE to track inventory moves and keep daily operations running smoothly
• Keep it clean and safe - maintain a well-organized, hazard-free warehouse environment
• Stay sharp - count, sort, and organize parts so everything is where it needs to be
• Support the flow - load and unload trucks as needed to keep production moving
• Read, react, and respond - follow written orders, specs, and labels, including hazardous material warnings
• Get hands-on with inventory - in physical inventory counts and reconciliation
• Be a mentor - help train and guide new team members on the floor
• Handle with care - manage hazardous waste in line with regulations and company procedures
• Lead with safety - follow company safety policies and help build a safety-first culture by supporting training for new team members
