About The Position

The Receiving Material Handler performs general labor associated with moving materials and supports production and shipping schedules by picking and staging parts and equipment, verifying inventory counts and locations, and working in areas such as inventory control, parts/equipment shipping, or receiving. The role follows order pick lists, pack lists, production schedules, shipping schedules, and work orders to ensure materials are received, packed, pulled, and staged accurately and on time, with little to no supervision.

The employee maintains accurate part identification, stocking locations, and inventory counts; conducts cycle counts; reports discrepancies and non-conforming materials; and troubleshoots inventory issues involving purchased and manufactured parts or equipment. The position also includes safely moving and storing materials, determining storage and shipment-consolidation needs, maintaining an orderly work area, performing required preventive maintenance on machines and equipment, and communicating problems to the appropriate lead, supervisor, or maintenance staff.

The role requires dependable, cooperative teamwork and adherence to safety procedures, protocols, policies, and SAFESTART concepts. It also emphasizes ownership, respect, continuous learning, openness to change and new perspectives, and learning from mistakes. The work takes place in a plant shop environment with exposure to moving mechanical parts, fumes or airborne particles, vibration, and potentially hazardous chemicals. The employee must wear steel-toed shoes, gloves, and safety glasses. The position may involve preparing hazardous waste for off-site shipment and participating in annual hazardous-waste training.
