Job summary

Connect NYC is seeking a detail-focused inventory associate to manage a Jericho-based stockroom and support field installs in Manhattan. You will receive, count, test, and assemble complete kits for technicians, while keeping accurate records and preparing returns with vendors.

Qualifications

• Count accurately against packing lists and pallets.
• Lift and move boxes up to 50 pounds.
• Use a computer to maintain inventory records, emails, and shipping labels.

• Work alone for long stretches with priorities set.
• Learn hardware you have not handled before; no networking background required.

Responsibilities

• Receive shipments and count every delivery against the packing list before shelving.
• Power up and test radios, switches, and routers; tag failures to prevent rooftops.
• Build complete kits for installs with radio, mounting hardware, cable, and in-unit equipment.
• Keep shelf records in agreement; flag shortages weeks before they affect schedules.
• Pack, ship, and chase returns and RMAs until closed with vendors.
• Hand equipment to technicians and manage returns from the field.

Job description

The installs happen in Manhattan. The equipment sits in Jericho. If a radio ships untested, or a kit goes out one part short, nobody finds out until a technician is standing on a roof with half a job and no way to finish it. Catching that is the job, and the work is plain and physical: receive, count, test, stage, ship, and chase returns until they close. It is repetitive on purpose and mostly solitary — a stockroom you run, not a warehouse floor with a crew on it.

What you do

• Receive shipments and count every delivery against the packing list before anything goes on a shelf.
• Power up and test Tarana radios, Juniper switches, and routers. Tag whatever fails so it never reaches a roof.
• Build and label a complete kit for each install — radio, mounting hardware, cable, in-unit equipment — so a technician can load it and go.
• Keep the record and the shelf in agreement, and flag a part that is running low weeks before it can hold up scheduled work.
• Pack, ship, and chase returns and RMAs until each one is closed out with the vendor.
• Hand equipment to technicians on pickup and take back what comes in from the field.
• Keep shelves, bins, and aisles ordered well enough that someone else could find a part without you.

What you bring

• Count accurately, and notice when a packing list and a pallet disagree.
• Lift boxes up to 50 pounds and stay on your feet through a shift.
• Use a computer for inventory records, email, and shipping labels.
• Follow the same test on the hundredth radio as on the first, on a day when nothing is checking the work but you.
• Work alone for long stretches and put the day in order once the priorities are set.
• Learn hardware you have not handled before. No networking background needed.

What success looks like

• Technicians leave Jericho with complete, tested kits. No install stops for a part that was supposed to be in the box.
• The count on the shelf matches the count in the record, and a shortage is visible long before it is urgent.
• No failed unit reaches a roof, and every RMA has a status, not a corner of the shelf.
• You can say what is ready, what failed, what shipped, and what is still open without walking out to check.

Schedule:

Part-time or full-time, Monday through Friday, daytime hours with some early starts. Occasional Saturday during busy install weeks. No regular evenings.
