Job description

Description

The Drexel Way:

We don’t just sell lumber; we Supply. Happiness. Drexel is Team Member-owned and community-driven. With six retail hubs and three manufacturing plants across Wisconsin, we’ve been a Top Workplace every year since 2011. Why? Because we hire for heart and train for skill. When you join Team Blue, you aren't just a team member - you’re an owner.

The Mission:

The Order Picking Specialist serves as the critical link between our yard inventory and our customers' job sites. This position ensures that all outbound material is meticulously processed. Your primary objective is to pull and stage customer orders with 100% accuracy and build safe, stable, and logically-sequenced loads for delivery. You are the engine of outbound velocity, ensuring our builders receive exactly what they need, when they need it.

Balance In Action:

We offer a predictable, seasonal schedule that rotates twice a year to match operational demand:

• Peak Season (April 1 – November 30): 2nd Shift 11:30 am-10:00 pm
• Off-Peak Season (December 1 – March 30): 1st Shift 5:30 am - 4:00 pm

This position offers a unique, alternating schedule designed for work-life balance:

• Week 1: Monday – Thursday (4-day weekend)
• Week 2: Tuesday – Friday (2-day weekend)

Defining the Role:

• Order Fulfillment: Accurately read pick tickets/scan guns; pull correct SKU/quantity from primary picking location.
• Load Building: Load trucks safely and efficiently in coordination with the Dispatcher’s route, organizing by delivery stop.
• Bottleneck Reduction: Immediately notify the Replenishment Specialist of low/empty stock.
• Load Prep: Stage, brand, wrap, or prepare materials for safe and damage-free transport.
• Yard Customers: Assist with walk-in customers in the yard with their orders.
• Transfers: Reloading of internal transfer trucks.

What Success Looks Like:

• Picking Accuracy Rate: Percentage of orders picked with zero errors.
• Velocity: Completing high number of order lines picked per hour.
• Quality Control: Ensuring minimal number of loading-related product damages.
• Workload Driver: The primary workload metric is the total sales order lines picked.
