Warehouse Associate (Sunday - Wednesday, 6:00AM to 4:30PM)

National Trade Supply LLC • Greenwood, IN

1d • Onsite

About The Position

At National Trade Supply, the Warehouse Associate I is a versatile, cross-trained fulfillment team member who plays a direct role in the accurate and efficient movement of product through our fulfillment center. This is a single role that spans the full breadth of warehouse operations — from receiving and putting away inbound shipments, to picking and packing outbound orders, processing Ready-to-Ship (RTS) orders, and preparing and labeling Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) shipments in full compliance with Amazon’s requirements. Every Warehouse Associate I is expected to develop competency across all functions, work safely, and rotate between areas as operational needs require.

We are seeking reliable, detail-oriented team members who take pride in getting the right product to the right place at the right time — and understand that accuracy and speed are both non-negotiable in a fulfillment environment. Success in this role requires the ability to learn multiple warehouse processes, follow standard operating procedures precisely, maintain consistent productivity throughout a full shift, and hold yourself and your work to a high standard regardless of which function you are assigned to that day.

At National Trade Supply, we operate with a shared set of core values that guide how we work and grow together: Grit, Bias for Action, Critical Thinking, Self-Awareness, and Operational Excellence. These principles shape our culture, influence our decisions, and define what it means to succeed on our team.

• High school diploma, GED, or equivalent experience required.
• Prior experience in a warehouse, fulfillment, or logistics environment is a plus but not required — we will train the right person.

• Basic understanding of warehouse processes, including receiving, picking, packing, and shipping.
• Comfortable using warehouse management systems (WMS), handheld scanners, and related technology; willingness to learn required systems.

• Ability or willingness to obtain PIT (powered industrial truck) certification upon hire.
• Able to stand, walk, bend, lift, and twist for a full shift; must be able to constantly reach with both hands and arms.
• Able to frequently lift and/or move up to 50 pounds.
• Comfortable working in a non-climate-controlled warehouse environment.
