Role Overview

In this dynamic warehouse role, you will manage the loading, unloading, and stocking of automotive components and tires. You will utilize industrial machinery, including reach trucks and order pickers, alongside scanning technology to maintain accurate inventory levels. Physical requirements include the ability to consistently lift 50 pounds, with occasional requirements to handle up to 80 pounds. For heavier items like commercial tires, you will utilize mechanical aids or team-lifting techniques, while large industrial tires or barrels may require a pushing force of 40 pounds. Because our racking systems reach heights of 25 feet, you must be comfortable operating equipment at elevation. This position requires significant mobility, as you will be on your feet for long durations and must be available for overtime. You will play a vital role in maintaining a secure workplace by strictly following all safety protocols and operational guidelines. Additionally, you may be cross-trained to support other areas such as e-commerce, inventory management, or will-call services as operational demands fluctuate. Please note that this list of responsibilities is not comprehensive, and you may be asked to complete other tasks or follow directives from your manager as needed.
