Warehouse Associate - Wire Room
About The Position
Since 1892, Shepherd Electric Supply has been the first call when complex, time-critical electrical challenges need to be solved and reliability truly matters. We move materials accurately and on time so contractors stay on schedule, projects stay on track, and customers never have to wonder if we’ll come through. Our success comes from people who take pride in doing things the right way — safely, accurately, and with care for teammates and customers alike. If you want to do work that matters at a company that notices, this is the place. The Wire Room is where product integrity begins. When wire and cable orders are cut accurately, pulled cleanly, and packed right the first time, contractors get exactly what they need — no delays, no rework, no errors in the field. This role sits at a critical point in the fulfillment chain. What you do here directly affects whether customers can trust us on their next call. Precision is not a preference — it is the standard.
