• Kit completed parts to their project locations as they come off the shop floor.
• Stage parts headed to outside processing vendors.

• Valid driver's license and a clean driving record.
• Experience driving a full-size truck and towing a trailer.
• Forklift experience, including high-capacity (5,000–10,000 lb.) forklifts.
• Basic computer skills, and willing to learn our systems.
• Reliable and detail oriented.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a machine shop, fab shop, or custom manufacturing environment.
• Rigging experience.
• Experience packaging parts for freight or parcel shipment.
• Any exposure to an ERP or inventory system.
