Job description

Viking, LLC – A DEMA Company

Shipper/Receiver – 1st Shift | Nesquehoning, PA

Full-time

• Monday–Friday, 8:00 am – 4:30 pm
• Weekly pay

What You'll Do

You'll be the person who makes sure what comes in is right and what goes out is right. Every dispenser and fluid control component we build in Nesquehoning passes through your hands on its way to customers in commercial kitchens, laundries, food processing plants, and car washes around the world.

A Typical Day

• Load and unload trucks; stage inbound material and route it to the right department
• Inspect deliveries against packing lists, flag damage or shortages, and chase them down to resolution
• Pull, pack, label, and stage outbound orders for LTL, UPS, and FedEx
• Operate a sit-down forklift, pallet jack, and hand truck safely, every time

What You Bring

• 1+ year in shipping, receiving, warehouse, or manufacturing - or related experience you can tell us about
• Forklift and pallet jack experience (we'll certify you on our equipment)
• Comfort with a computer: data entry, email, and basic Microsoft 365. ERP or MRP experience is a plus, not a requirement - we'll train you
• Sharp attention to detail. In our world, one wrong pallet becomes a customer's bad week
• The judgment to solve a problem yourself and the sense to know when to raise it
• Ability to regularly lift and carry up to 40 pounds, stand and walk for the majority of a shift, and safely operate powered equipment, with or without reasonable accommodation
• Reliable attendance - a small team feels every absence
• High school diploma or GED

Why people stay at Viking

We're a manufacturer, not a warehouse. Nine molding machines sit under the same roof as shipping, which means you'll know the people who designed the product you're packing and they'll know you. The pace moves, you'll learn fast, and good ideas about how to run things better don't get filed away - they get used.

We're also small enough that your work is visible. If you're the kind of person who takes pride in a clean dock, an accurate count, and a truck that leaves on time, you'll be recognized for it here.

Pay And Benefits

• Weekly paychecks
• Generous paid time off and paid holidays
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Company-paid life insurance and short-term disability
• 401(k) with company contribution
• Tuition reimbursement
