About the Role

The Specialist Warehouse is a dynamic role encompassing a variety of responsibilities that go beyond those of a Warehouse Associate but do not include the leadership duties of a Warehouse Lead. This role provides critical support in either a Receiving Focus or WMS Inventory Focus to ensure warehouse operations run smoothly and efficiently:

Receiving Focus:

• Receive and inspect packaging materials, produce, proteins, dry goods, canned goods, and frozen products.
• Verify that materials match invoices and purchase orders, cross-referencing item specifications, quantities, and pricing.
• Serve as a backup for inventory management; update the Galley platform for received materials and integrate them into inventory cycle counts.
• Rotate products in the warehouse, refrigerator, and freezer daily using the FIFO method.
• Collaborate with leadership and cross-functional teams (e.g., production, kitchen, facilities, quality assurance, procurement) to address shortages, quality issues, and pricing discrepancies.
• Proactively communicate with Procurement and Production leadership on mismatches in materials, quantities, specifications, and pricing.
• Update Galley and procurement tracking platforms consistently.
• Verify that all meal components are ordered and received; collaborate with leadership to establish multiple checkpoint stages in the production cycle.

• Ensure consistent quality standards and initiatives are upheld for all received and stored products.
• Conduct inventory counts, reporting shortages or issues to leadership.
• Break down pallets as needed, and maintain a clean and organized warehouse environment.

• Develop in-depth expertise in the functionality of the Warehouse Management System (WMS).
• Conduct physical inventory counts and reconcile them with WMS records.
• Process requisitions in the WMS, auditing physical goods for accuracy and quality.
• Collaborate with other departments to fulfill requisitions promptly and accurately.
• Maintain Return-to-Stock and Work-in-Progress (WIP) areas, ensuring accurate updates in the WMS.
• Participate in cycle counts, including end-of-month counts that may occur outside your regular schedule.

Who You Are

• High school diploma or equivalent required; degree preferred.
• Minimum of 2+ years of warehouse receiving or similar experience required; warehouse receiving and/or requisitioning experience in a high-volume food production facility highly preferred.
• Comfortable working in cold environments, including freezers, for extended periods.
• Ability to stand and bend for long periods and lift up to 50 lbs repetitively.
• Skilled in using hand tools, scales, and box-cutters; forklift certification preferred.
