Job description

We're an IT Asset Disposition company: businesses send us their retired IT equipment, and we audit it, test it, wipe it, and route it to resale, reuse, or responsible recycling. The Warehouse Lead is the person who owns that flow end to end — from the moment a pallet comes off the truck to the moment product ships back out the door.

This is a hands-on role for someone who likes accountability, keeps a clean and organized floor, and can be trusted to run the warehouse without being managed minute to minute. Veterans are strongly encouraged to apply — the discipline, inventory accountability, and logistics experience from military service translate directly to this work.

What You'll Do

Intake & Audit

• Receive incoming shipments, verify counts against manifests, and document discrepancies
• Serialize and record assets (make, model, serial, specs, condition) into inventory
• Maintain chain-of-custody documentation on client equipment from receipt through final disposition
• Flag damaged, missing, or unexpected items and elevate to management

Testing & Evaluation

• Power on, test, and functionally verify desktops, laptops, servers, networking gear, and components
• Grade equipment by condition and assign disposition: resale, parts harvest, or recycling
• Diagnose common failures and determine whether a unit is worth repairing or parting out
• Perform and verify data sanitization on drives and devices, and document the results
• Disassemble units for component recovery and sort commodities by material type

Shipping & Receiving

• Pick, pack, and stage outbound orders; build and wrap pallets for LTL freight
• Generate labels, BOLs, and shipping paperwork for parcel and freight carriers
• Schedule pickups and deliveries and coordinate with drivers and carriers
• Inspect and confirm outbound shipments for accuracy before they leave

Purchasing & Supplies

• Track consumables (boxes, pallets, wrap, labels, anti-static bags, testing supplies) and reorder before they run out
• Source and compare vendors on price and lead time; place and follow up on purchase orders
• Reconcile received supply orders against invoices and packing slips

Floor Operations

• Keep the warehouse organized, safe, and audit-ready with clear staging zones
• Operate pallet jacks and other material handling equipment safely
• Train and direct warehouse staff or temporary help as the team grows
• Maintain accurate inventory records and assist with cycle counts

What We're Looking For

Required

• 2+ years in warehouse operations, logistics, shipping/receiving, or IT hardware — or equivalent military experience
• Working knowledge of computer hardware: able to identify components, build and tear down systems, and tell good gear from junk
• Comfortable with inventory systems, spreadsheets, and documentation — this job is as much about accurate records as it is about moving boxes
• Able to lift 50 lbs repeatedly and stand, bend, and move throughout the shift
• Detail-oriented and honest — you'll handle client data-bearing equipment and high-value assets
• Valid driver's license and clean driving record

Preferred

• Military service, particularly in supply, logistics, communications, or electronic technicians.
• Prior ITAD, e-waste, electronics refurbishment, or IT repair experience
• CompTIA A+ or similar hardware certification
• Forklift certification (or willingness to get certified)
• Experience with freight carriers, LTL shipping, and BOL paperwork
• Familiarity with data destruction standards and secure handling practices
• Experience listing or selling refurbished equipment on resale channels

Who Succeeds Here

The right person is a self-starter who takes ownership of the space. You notice when supplies are running low before anyone asks. You don't leave a pallet half-audited. You can switch between testing a stack of laptops, taking a delivery, and building an outbound shipment without losing track of where things stand. If you've been the person your unit or your crew relied on to keep things accounted for, you'll recognize this job.
