Job description

Warehouse Associate II

Every Order Shipped Right Keeps a Lab Running

Why This Role Matters
When a lab runs out of critical supplies, experiments stop. Patient samples wait. Research timelines slip. As a Warehouse Associate II at Filtrous, you’re the reason that doesn’t happen. You’ll receive, store, and ship the laboratory supplies that scientists depend on every day. Your accuracy in picking, packing, and inventory management directly ensures that the right products reach the right labs on time. In a business built on reliability, your work is the foundation.

What You’ll Do

• Manage Inventory with Precision: Receive, inspect, and accurately record incoming shipments. Organize and maintain inventory for efficient storage and retrieval. Conduct regular cycle counts and assist in physical inventory audits.
• Fulfill Orders Accurately and Efficiently: Pick and pack orders based on customer requirements. Prepare shipments with proper documentation and labeling to ensure every order goes out right the first time.
• Coordinate Shipping and Receiving: Work with carriers and freight companies for incoming and outgoing shipments. Verify shipping documents and resolve discrepancies with suppliers or carriers.
• Maintain Quality Standards: Inspect products for damages, defects, or discrepancies. Ensure all items meet quality standards before shipment and report any issues to your supervisor.
• Keep Systems Up to Date: Input data into the warehouse management system accurately and on time. Generate shipping labels, packing slips, and other documentation as needed.
• Uphold Safety and Compliance: Follow all safety guidelines and protocols. Comply with company policies and regulatory requirements. Safely operate warehouse equipment including forklifts and pallet jacks.
• Run Inbound Freight and Transfers: Unload pallets by forklift, match incoming transfers from our other warehouses to their transfer orders, and clear the receiving area within 2 business days. Escalate any transfer stuck in transit for more than 2 weeks.
• Own the Cycle Count Schedule: Keep counts on schedule, investigate variances, and prepare inventory adjustments for manager approval.
• Prepare Hazmat and Freight Shipments: After DOT hazmat training, prepare and check hazardous material and pallet shipments before carrier pickup.
• Back Up Daily Operations: Keep orders moving when the warehouse manager is out, and complete the daily forklift safety inspection.

Problems You Will Solve

• Wrong item ships out: A mispicked or mislabeled order forces a waiting lab to halt work, so this role exists to keep at least 99 of every 100 shipments exactly right.
• Shelves run dry unnoticed: If counts on paper drift from what is actually in stock, a critical supply quietly runs out and scientists are left waiting, which careful receiving and regular counting is meant to prevent.
• Orders miss the dispatch window: Shipments that do not make the day’s outbound cutoff push lab timelines back, so the daily on-time target depends on someone keeping fulfillment moving.
• Carrier and supplier mismatches: When shipping paperwork does not match what arrived or left, the gap turns into costly back-and-forth unless it is caught and settled with the carrier or supplier early.
• Damaged stock goes undetected: A defect or in-transit damage that slips past inspection reaches the customer and dents a reputation built on quality, so each item needs a check before it ships.

How Success is Measured

• Maintain 99%+ order accuracy across all shipments
• Zero safety incidents in areas of responsibility
• Complete all cycle counts and inventory audits on schedule with minimal discrepancies
• Meet daily shipping targets with on-time dispatch
• Keep warehouse organized and audit-ready at all times

Why You’ll Love It Here
At Filtrous, you’re not just moving boxes. You’re making sure that labs across the country have what they need to do important work. You’ll be part of a small, hardworking team that values reliability, honesty, and continuous improvement. The pace is fast, the work matters, and your contributions are noticed. As Filtrous grows, there are real opportunities to take on more responsibility and advance within the operations team.

Who You Are

• Current forklift certification
• 1+ years of warehouse experience
• Strong organizational skills and sharp attention to detail
• Ability to lift and move heavy objects (up to 50 lbs) and stand for extended periods
• Basic computer skills for data entry and record-keeping
• Team player who communicates effectively with colleagues and supervisors

Bonus points if you have:

• Familiarity with warehouse management systems (WMS)
