Track orders and shipments from purchase to warehouse delivery. Communicate with suppliers to confirm availability, lead times, and delivery schedules. Coordinate with Accounting for purchase approvals. Resolve order issues, shortages, damaged materials, and delivery delays quickly.

Process pick tickets and ensure installers are fully staged for the day. Manage returns, claims, and defective material reporting. Help keep the warehouse organized, safe, and efficient.
