Maintenance Parts Clerk
About The Position
When maintenance or production needs a part, having the right item in the right place matters. As a Parts Clerk I, you’ll support the Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) team by helping ensure parts, supplies, and inventory are received, organized, tracked, and distributed accurately. It’s a hands-on role for someone who enjoys helping people, keeping things organized, solving everyday problems, and working independently. You won’t spend your entire shift behind a desk—or your entire shift on the warehouse floor. The position is approximately 50% physical and 50% clerical/administrative, giving you a combination of inventory, computer, customer-service, and hands-on responsibilities. Your work helps maintenance and operations teams get the parts and supplies they need to support production. You’ll contribute to inventory accuracy, coordinate the movement of parts, respond to requests, and help keep the MRO area safe and organized. When something doesn’t look right, whether it’s an inventory discrepancy, vending-machine issue, delivery question, or facility concern, you’ll help investigate the situation, communicate it, and move it toward resolution.
