Warehouse Associate

S&W Food is looking for a motivated, hardworking team player to join our operations team as a Warehouse Associate! If you are dedicated and looking for an environment where you can build a versatile career, S&W Foods is the ideal place to get ahead.

Instead of being locked into a single repetitive task, you will join a unified, cross-trained warehouse team
. You will master all facets of our food service logistics engine— to where the work is, protecting food safety, and ensuring our customers get exactly what they need.

Safety & Equipment Mastery: Maintain 100% compliance with warehouse safety rules, traffic patterns, and PPE mandates. Conduct daily pre-shift inspections, operate certified equipment safely (including at high-rack heights), and immediately report any hazards or damage.

All-Zone Cross-Training: Work productively across all warehouse climates—including dry, cooler, and freezer environments. Act as a guardian of the cold chain by keeping temperature-sensitive products in their correct zones to protect food safety.

Inbound Logistics & Receiving: Inspect inbound trailers for cleanliness and temperature compliance before unloading. Break down and verify freight against purchase orders by exact item, pack, quantity, lot number, and expiration date while immediately isolating discrepancies.

System Precision & Tracking: Utilize RF scanners to accurately track and complete every inventory movement under your own credentials. Identify and upscale system errors or unreadable labels to leadership instead of making unauthorized adjustments.

Inventory Control & Putaway: Execute flawless FIFO (First-In, First-Out) rotation to ensure older products are selected first. Promptly replenish pick faces and place stock safely without forcing items into overfull locations or damaging equipment.

Food Safety Excellence: Safeguard product quality against punctures, crushing, and contamination. Strictly adhere to FDA, USDA, FSMA, HACCP, and company sanitation protocols, including meticulous allergen separation and traceability tracking.

Zero-Incident Mindset: You prioritize safety above all else, always wearing your PPE, following traffic rules, conducting thorough pre-shift inspections, and keeping your work areas clean and hazard-free.

Flawless Cold Chain Management: You master the logistics of our multi-temperature facility by executing swift transitions between dry, cooler, and freezer zones, ensuring temperature-sensitive inventory remains fully protected and compliant at all times.

Flawless Inventory Accuracy: You take pride in precision. You scan every single move correctly with your RF credentials, verify every PO line item during receiving, and enforce strict FIFO rotation so no product expires on your watch.

Proactive Problem Solving: When a system error pops up, a label won't scan, or an inbound shipment is damaged, you don't guess or ignore it—you immediately pause, segregate the stock, and elevate it to leadership.

True Team

Collaboration:

You embrace the unified warehouse concept. You don't say "that's not my job"—instead, you gladly move to wherever the operational bottleneck is to help the team win.

Environmental Resilience: Fully capable of working in all warehouse temperature zones (including Dry, Cooler, and ultra-cold Freezer environments) as well as exterior settings across all weather types.

Stamina & Adaptability: Ability to stay on your feet for long periods of time and pull open-ended shifts to ensure all work is completed for the night.

Physical Labor: Ability to independently perform intense physical labor, including lifting up to 80 pounds on a regular basis.
