• Maintain organization, cleanliness, and material flow within the non-ferrous warehouse
• Support inventory counts, reconciliation, and documentation
• Follow all OSHA, company safety, and PPE requirements

Required Experience & Qualifications

• Prior warehouse experience required
• Scrap metal or non-ferrous material experience strongly preferred
• Ability to accurately identify non-ferrous metals
• Forklift experience required (certification or ability to obtain)
• Comfortable using scales, inventory systems, and basic computer software
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently
• Valid driver's license

Physical & Work Environment

• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
• Standing, bending, climbing, and working on your feet for extended periods
• Indoor warehouse and outdoor yard environment
• Exposure to heat, cold, dust, and noise typical of a scrap metal operation
• Required use of PPE including steel-toe boots, gloves, eye protection, and hearing protection

Safety & Hiring Requirements

• Pre-employment drug screening
• Background check
• Forklift certification (or willingness to obtain)
• OSHA and company safety training provided

Career Growth

This role can remain a skilled warehouse position or grow into opportunities such as:

• Non-ferrous inventory or shipping lead
• Advanced material grading and processing
• Non-ferrous buying or warehouse leadership
