• Shipping & Receiving: Expertly load/unload flatbeds and containers, ensuring all materials are secured and documented.

• Quality Control: Inspect metal products for specifications and damage before they head to our customers.

• Inventory Management: Use RF scanners to maintain real-time accuracy of our high-value stock.

What You Bring to the Table

• Physical Resilience: You are comfortable with a physically demanding "industrial athlete" lifestyle.

• Certified Skill: Proven experience operating forklifts (certification preferred or provided upon hire).

• Safety-First Mindset: A spotless safety record and a commitment to wearing proper PPE at all times.

• Reliability: You show up on time, every time, ready to hit the floor running.

Why Join Us?
