• Load and unload trucks and trailers at the dock while following safe material handling practices.
• Move inventory and parts between facilities and designated warehouse areas as lines and operations are relocated.
• Organize and maintain staging areas to ensure materials are clearly labeled, accessible, and ready for production.
• Follow all safety procedures and equipment operating guidelines, including forklift recertification requirements.
• Work collaboratively with warehouse and manufacturing teams to prioritize material flow and minimize production disruptions.
