- Transport and store materials in designated warehouse and production locations.

- Stage materials for scheduled production jobs.
- Maintain accurate material identification, labeling, storage, and inventory records.
- Assist with cycle counts and physical inventory.
- Communicate material shortages, damaged goods, and receiving discrepancies to Purchasing and appropriate team members.
- Maintain clean, safe, and organized receiving, warehouse, and storage areas.
- Follow all safety requirements, Standard Operating Procedures, current Good Manufacturing Practices, and company policies.
- Perform additional warehouse and material-handling duties as assigned.

- Experience verifying shipments against purchase orders and packing slips.
- Ability to safely load, unload, stage, organize, and move materials.
- Basic computer skills and experience entering inventory or receiving transactions.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to inventory accuracy.
