Job description

Known for some of our larger brands - Wave Armor, Otter Outdoors, Beavertail, DOA decoys and Rhino Tuff Tanks - we are a 32 year old international company located in a small town, and we are booming with growth. This family owned, face paced, company is looking for a career-oriented, self-motivated and positive team player to help lead our rotational molding production staff. We appreciate an \"I Can\" attitude, a willingness to pick up a shovel and enjoy a simplistic \"mundane\" task today and a challenging and creative one tomorrow, and understand they all need to get done.

We're looking for someone who enjoys solving puzzles, finding answers, and improving processes. Every inventory discrepancy tells a story. Your job will be to uncover what happened, work alongside production and warehouse teams to prevent it from happening again, and help us continuously improve.

You'll spend time on the manufacturing floor, in our warehouse, and in our ERP system investigating inventory issues, performing cycle counts, and partnering with leaders to improve inventory accuracy. If you take pride in getting the details right, enjoy working with people, and aren't afraid to ask 'why,' you'll thrive here.

Why Rhino?
