Job description

Warehouse - Material Sorter (Temp to Hire)

Job ID 38352 • $20/hr • Katy, TX

Not your typical Warehouse gig! One day it's a haul of vintage devices and retro game consoles. The next, it's a pallet of barely‑used smartwatches or a mystery crate of server parts. We sort it, test it, fix it, flip it, break it down, or strip it for precious metals. Every item tells a story, and every day is different.

We’re hiring a Materials Sorter to lead the charge in organizing, breaking down, testing, and sorting incoming electronics. You’ll be the person who turns chaos into order — helping our operation run smarter, faster, and more profitably.

Responsibilities

• Sort, inspect, and process electronic materials (from retro to brand‑new)
• Test laptops, desktops, game consoles, and other consumer tech
• Break down units to recover valuable parts and precious metals
• Help manage and organize Gaylord bins of incoming inventory
• Use market data and past sales history to spot what’s worth flipping
• Work alongside materials and eCommerce teams to keep things flowing
• Join occasional pickup runs and scrap yard trips
• Help refine and improve our sorting systems

Qualifications and Requirements

• Strong attention to detail and a logical, organized mindset
• Ability to lift 50+ lbs regularly (this isn’t a desk job)
• A natural curiosity about electronics, tech, and tools
• Bonus: Experience with tech repair, reselling, or inventory systems
• Even bigger bonus: You’re the kind of person who can’t not make a system better once you understand it

We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or any other protected status.
