Job description

The Shipping Clerk plays a vital role in our supply chain, ensuring that finished goods are moved safely from production to the warehouse and ultimately to our customers. This position requires a high level of precision, a commitment to rigorous safety standards, and the ability to maintain 100% inventory accuracy in a high-volume environment.

Safety & Quality Commitment

At Green Bay Packaging, safety is our first priority. The Shipping Clerk is expected to:

• Conduct daily pre-shift inspections on all power industrial trucks (PIT) and immediately report any mechanical concerns.
• Maintain a "Safety First" mindset by identifying and mitigating potential hazards in the warehouse, such as pedestrian traffic or unstable loads.
• Perform routine quality checks on finished goods to ensure no damaged or incorrect product reaches the customer.
• Participate in general plant clean-ups to maintain a clean, organized, and trip-free work zone.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate specialized equipment, including the Aisle Master forklift, to unload finished goods from conveyors and strategically place them within the warehouse.
• Utilize scanning technology to track assigned inventory items, ensuring real-time accuracy of warehouse stock levels.
• Accurately pick customer releases and stage products for transport according to specific load maps and customer requirements.
• Verify product labeling for 100% accuracy and generate both manual and computer-based Bills of Lading (BOL) to ensure legal and logistical compliance.
• Protect our products and transit safety by applying protective sheets, pads, and banding to unit loads per strict engineering specifications.
• Maintain detailed logs regarding items loaded/unloaded, timestamps, and equipment inspections to ensure peak operational efficiency.

Qualifications

• Ability to repetitively lift up to 50 lbs and remain seated/operable on a forklift for extended periods (8+ hours).
• Basic computer literacy for generating shipping documents and performing inventory scans.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills to coordinate with dispatchers and supervisors.
• Proven ability to multi-task and maintain accuracy in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.
• Must be willing to work 2nd Shift (2 PM - 10 PM Monday - Friday) OR 3rd Shift (10 PM - 6 AM Sunday - Thursday). Overtime and weekend work may be required based on customer demand.
• Prior manufacturing or warehouse experience is a plus, but we are willing to train candidates with the right mechanical aptitude and work ethic.
