About The Position

• Ability to speak English fluently.

Nice To Haves

• Forklift certification is a plus (or willingness to be trained and certified).

Responsibilities

• Greet clients arriving for pickups and returns in a professional, courteous manner.
• Process customer pickups and returns directly through the inventory software based on the contract.
• Safely load outbound rental equipment into customer vehicles and unload returning equipment, ensuring items are secured.
• Inspect returning equipment for missing items or damage.
• Ensure all returning items flow properly through the established asset tagging and damage processing system, including photos to capture damages.
• Clean, inspect, and prep tables, chairs, and specialty furniture items to ensure they meet quality standards before going out on rent.
• Assist the warehouse crew in pulling and staging furniture inventory for outbound delivery trucks.
• Help maintain a clean, organized, and logically structured furniture storage area within the warehouse.
