Schedule: Monday – Friday Early Start: 7:00 AM

Responsibilities
Specialized Handling: Load and unload inbound/outbound shipments of drywall, insulation, shingles, and hardwood.

Order Picking: Accurately pull orders from stock using pick sheets or handheld scanners, ensuring materials are undamaged.

Load Securement: Expertly stage and load trucks, ensuring that flexible or "floppy" materials (like siding or long-trim) are supported and secured to prevent transit damage.

Inventory Management: Maintain an organized yard and warehouse; assist in cycle counts and stock replenishment.

Safety Compliance: Operate heavy machinery (forklifts/side-loaders) in accordance with OSHA standards, especially when navigating tight spaces with wide loads.

Qualifications
Certification: Must possess a valid Forklift Certification with a proven track record of safe operation.

Industry Experience: Prior experience handling building materials (drywall, siding, lumber) is highly preferred and considered a major asset.

Transportation: As our facility is not accessible by public transit, candidates must have a reliable vehicle and a valid driver's license.

Physical Ability: Comfortable with heavy lifting and working in a dynamic, indoor/outdoor warehouse environment.
