THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE WAREHOUSE JOB

If you take pride in doing things right, know your way around a forklift, and want to work somewhere that will invest in your future, keep reading.

Conklin Metal Industries has been in business since 1874 and is still family owned and operated. We distribute sheet metal, HVAC, and duct fabrication supplies from 17 warehouses across the Southeast. Our Nashville branch is looking for a Warehouse Associate who is ready to show up, work hard, and grow with us.

We mean that last part. Warehouse Associates at Conklin have gone on to become Shipping Leads, Receiving Leads, Warehouse Managers, Inside Sales Representatives, Branch Managers, and Operations Managers. If you want a path, we have one. But it starts on the warehouse floor, and it starts with doing the basics exceptionally well.

LOCATION AND COMMUTE

We are located at 1150 Antioch Pike, Suite 250, Nashville, TN 37211, in the Antioch area off I-24 on the south side of Nashville. If you are commuting from Antioch, Smyrna, Murfreesboro, Brentwood, or the surrounding South Nashville area, you are in a great location. Our 7:00 AM start time also helps you get in and out ahead of the worst Nashville traffic.

• Monitor inventory and report discrepancies to management
• Operate a forklift safely as a regular part of your daily work

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• Have hands-on forklift experience and can operate one confidently and safely every day
• Have at least two years of warehouse experience in a fast-paced environment
• Pay close attention to detail, particularly when it comes to shipping and receiving accuracy
• Have inventory-control experience, although this is preferred rather than required
• Take safety seriously and consistently follow established procedures
• Can lift 50 pounds or more and maintain a high level of physical activity throughout your shift
• Are comfortable working in variable temperatures and occasionally adjusting your schedule based on workload
• Are dependable, coachable, and looking for a company where you can build a future
