This is more than a warehouse position—it’s an opportunity to own a critical part of our inventory flow and help ensure that everything entering and leaving MAKS is handled accurately and efficiently.

We’re looking for someone who notices when something doesn’t match, keeps their area organized, follows through, and is willing to jump in wherever needed. If you’re the kind of person who sees what needs to be done and gets it done, we’d love to meet you.
