Shipping and package handling

• Pick, pack, label, and ship outbound orders, including large freight, palletized equipment, and parcel.
• Prepare bills of lading, packing lists, and shipping labels; work with logistics to schedule carrier pickups and track shipments with production
• Handle daily package drop-offs and outgoing parcel runs.
• Secure, wrap, and band loads so equipment arrives undamaged.
• Operate a forklift, walkie stacker, and pallet jacks safely to load, unload, move, and stage material.
• Complete daily pre-use equipment inspections and report defects.

Cross-functional support

• Partner with production on material priorities, shortages, and kit readiness.
• Support maintenance with parts availability and spares tracking.
• Provide finance with accurate counts, receipt data, and variance explanations for month-end.
• Work with supply chain on inbound schedules, expedites, returns, and supplier issues.
• Work closely with engineering on part order accuracy
• Follow all safety procedures and keep the dock and warehouse clean and hazard-free.
