Inventory Specialist- 3rd Shift

About Loving

LOVING is a landscape, hardscape, sod, and outdoor living company serving residential and commercial clients across the Carolinas. We operate in Charlotte, the Triad, Raleigh, Greenville, Columbia, and Asheville. We build the outdoor spaces people actually live in. Patios, retaining walls, sod installs, full outdoor living builds, from the ground up and usands of installs a year. Millions of square feet of sod.

Crews running across active job sites every day in every market. Behind every one of those finished yards is a logistics operation that keeps the whole thing moving. Every paver, every pallet of sod, every piece of equipment touches a truck before it touches a job site. That's where this role lives, and that's why it matters.

Every paver, every pallet of sod, every piece of equipment touches a truck before it touches a job site. That's where this role lives, and that's why it matters.

Every LOVING crew that rolls out in the morning is betting their entire day on what happened the night before. The trucks are loaded or they're not. The materials are prepped or they're not. The yard is organized or it's a mess that costs everyone an hour before the first job even starts. LOVING is hiring an Inventory Specialist for third shift, and that shift is the reason the morning works.

• Unload incoming deliveries. Receive materials, verify what showed up matches what was ordered, and get it stored or staged where it belongs. Flag anything short, damaged, or wrong before it becomes someone else's problem
• Quality check materials before they go on a truck. Cracked pavers, bad sod, short counts. Catch it at the yard, not on the job site. If something isn't right, flag it and pull it before it becomes the crew's problem
• Rotate perishable stock. Sod has a shelf life. First in, first out. If product is sitting too long or showing signs of stress, report it before it ships to a customer's property
• Store and organize materials properly. Keep material storage areas weatherproofed and protected. Tarps on, covers secured, sensitive materials stored right. Product that gets ruined sitting in the yard overnight is money lost before the day even starts
• Pull and stage materials by crew and route. Each crew's load should be grouped, labeled, and organized so the morning is grab-and-go, not a scavenger hunt across the yard. This means knowing what's going out, in what quantities, and having it ready before your shift ends
• Load trucks for the next day's jobs. Make sure the right materials are on the right truck for the right crew going to the right site. Sod, pavers, gravel, plants, tools, equipment. If something is missing when that truck pulls out in the morning, the crew feels it and so does the customer
• Fuel trucks and top off fluids before the morning rollout. Every truck should leave the yard ready to run a full day without stopping for fuel on the way to a job site
• Maintain and organize small equipment. Blowers, trimmers, hand tools. Make sure batteries are charged, fuel is topped off, blades are in working condition, and everything is accounted for before it goes out
• Manage tool inventory and accountability. Know what went out, what came back, and what's missing. Tools walking off the yard is money walking out the door
• Restock crew supplies. Water, ice, PPE, safety gear, whatever crews need to get through the day. If it runs out on a job site because nobody checked it the night before, that's on this shift
• Track what comes in and what goes out. Keep inventory counts accurate so the TEAM always knows what's on hand, what's running low, and what needs to be reordered. If something doesn't add up, speak up before it becomes a problem on a job site
• Communicate with dispatch and scheduling about load status. If something is short, backordered, or not going to be ready, the people planning the morning need to know before the morning, not…
