About the Role
As a Shipping & Receiving Associate, you will keep materials and equipment moving through our operation—from receiving mechanical and electrical components to stocking inventory, picking parts for production, staging completed equipment, and preparing finished machines and control panels for shipment.
You will work closely with manufacturing, engineering, purchasing, and project teams to ensure the materials needed to build custom automation equipment are available when and where they are needed. You will also coordinate outbound shipments and help ensure completed equipment reaches customers accurately, safely, and on schedule.
This is a hands-on position that requires organization, accuracy, safe material handling, and the ability to work comfortably around industrial equipment and large, custom-built assemblies.
