• Knowledge of inventory control, cycle counts, and material traceability.
• Strong attention to detail, safety awareness, and dependable attendance.

• Ability to lift up to 65 pounds, follow site safety requirements, and work in varying temperatures, including cold rooms.
• Availability to work rotating first- and second-shift schedules.

Preferred

Chemical manufacturing experience, hazardous material handling, and familiarity with 5S or Lean practices.

Why Join Staffmark?

• Competitive hourly pay and weekly paychecks.
• Medical, dental, vision, and other benefits, subject to eligibility.
