Warehouse Logistics Material Flow Specialist

Location: Saint Joseph, MI

Reports To: Production Supervisor or Designee

A day in the life

You begin your shift by checking open sales orders and work orders, lining up pulls from assembly and staging outbound loads. A Reach truck helps you glide through racking to retrieve finished goods; a Counterbalance forklift positions pallets at the dock. With an RF scanner in hand, you capture each movement and post accurate transactions in Epicor so inventory stays precise—no surprises for purchasing or production.

New receipts roll in. You verify, label, and put away materials using established locations, again updating Epicor to reflect on-hand balances. Between waves, you assist teammates, load and unload semi trailers, and jump in on related projects that keep the warehouse humming. When priorities shift, you pivot confidently—because safe, correct, and efficient material flow is what you do.
