About The Position

To safely and efficiently manage the receipt, internal movement (to include warehouse organization, and good housekeeping), manufacturing support, and shipment of raw materials, and machinery to satisfy our internal and external customer needs. Before you apply, here's what we want you to know: (1) You are not assigned to one area or equipment - we have several different work areas that do not require driving a forklift. Warehouse employees could rotate to different areas daily or as needed. The more you learn, the more likely you will achieve the next levels. (2) This is hard work. You'll need more than physical strength - you'll need fortitude and gumption to handle equipment ownership, solve problems, and maneuver through the unexpected. If you are not suited for a dedicated and fast-paced working environment, this job may not be for you.
