• High school diploma or equivalent preferred.
• 2+ years of warehouse, shipping, logistics, crating, or related experience preferred.
• Carpentry, millwork, cabinet construction, woodworking, or custom manufacturing knowledge is a plus.
• Ability to use hand tools, read a tape measure, and understand practical packaging/crating requirements.

• Ability to work overtime when required to meet production or shipping needs.

• Hands-on warehouse and production-floor role requiring standing, walking, bending, reaching, pushing, pulling, loading, and material handling with or without reasonable accommodation.
• Ability to lift 100 lbs. as needed with appropriate equipment, team lift practices, and/or reasonable accommodation.
