Job Description

About the Role

Join a leading supplier of fire protection products and keep critical materials moving. As a Distribution Warehouse Associate, you’ll blend equipment operation, order fulfillment, and careful packing to ensure our customers receive exactly what they need—when they need it.

A Day in the Life

You begin with a safety mindset—conducting and documenting your daily lift equipment inspection before you hop on the forklift. The morning may include unloading pipe and assorted materials from flatbed or box trailers, staging inventory, and verifying counts. Midday, you’re picking orders by RF scanner or paper pick ticket—matching bin locations, part numbers, and descriptions with precision, and confirming details within the JDE system for shipping and receiving inquiries. In the afternoon, you review picked items during packing, secure pipe bundles with a pneumatic bander when needed, and shrink-wrap crates and boxes. You’ll generate shipping through the Varsity system, then load outbound orders with care. Throughout the day, you’ll support will-call customers, maintain professionalism with teammates and visitors, and follow SOPs and company policies using the appropriate PPE.

Key Responsibilities

  • Execute routine warehouse functions: shipping, receiving, will-call, inventory control, and material handling.
  • Operate a forklift to pick orders and receive stock; complete daily lift inspections; load/unload pipe and other materials from trailers.
  • Pick orders using RF technology or paper pick tickets by bin location, part number, and description.
  • Use the JDE operating system for shipping/receiving inquiries.
  • Lift and move boxes during shipping and receiving activities.
  • Verify item accuracy during packing and ensure materials are packaged properly.
  • Process shipments via the Varsity system to ensure correct routing and documentation.
  • Operate a shrink-wrap machine and, when required, a pneumatic bander to prepare loads and pipe bundles.
  • Complete training curriculum, including safety requirements, demonstrating competence as defined by management.
  • Follow company policies, SOPs, and use required PPE.
  • Deliver excellent customer service and professionalism with customers and coworkers.
  • Perform additional tasks as assigned by the warehouse lead, warehouse manager, or branch operations manager.

What You Bring

  • At least 6 months of warehouse or material handling experience.
  • Basic keypad/keyboard proficiency; comfort with basic computer tasks.
  • Experience using RF/barcoding technology is helpful.
  • 1 year of success multitasking under time constraints.
  • Solid arithmetic skills with whole numbers and decimals.

Proficiencies

  • Shipping and receiving workflows
  • Basic computer skills
