As a Warehouse Operator, you’re the backbone of our dock operations, loading, unloading, and moving freight safely, quickly, and accurately. Every pallet you touch keeps production running smoothly and customers on schedule. You’ll handle product with care, follow all site and safety procedures, and keep the dock organized and compliant with GMP standards.

• Pick orders, load, and unload inbound and outbound freight safely and on time.
• Verify shipping documents and freight details against bills of lading (BOL).
• Process transactions in SAP (Post Goods Issue, inbound deliveries) using RF scanners.
• Inspect all loads for accuracy, damage, and compliance and report any issues immediately.
• Move, stage, and rotate inventory to maintain organization and support production needs.
• Keep your dock area clean, safe, and in top condition every shift.
• Follow GMP, sanitation, and Allergen Control procedures as required.
• Support your team by jumping in on additional dock or housekeeping tasks when needed.

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy — you notice when something’s off.
• Certified (or ready to certify) in forklift or powered industrial truck operation.
• Comfortable with RF scanners and basic systems — SAP experience preferred.
• Solid safety awareness and a track record of safe operating behavior.
• Clear communication skills with teammates, drivers, and supervisors.
• Reliable time management to keep up with shifting dock schedules.
• Physical ability to lift up to 55 lbs, stand for long periods, and work in warehouse conditions.

• High School Diploma or GED.
• Forklift certification (or ability to obtain within 30 days).
• Basic computer and math skills; able to read, write, and speak English.
• Understanding of Haz Mat handling procedures (ideal but not required; prior experience is an advantage).

• 3+ years of experience in warehouse, manufacturing, or shipping/receiving operations.
• Prior experience with SAP ECC or similar inventory systems.
• Familiarity with GMP or allergen‑controlled environments.

This is a hands‑on, fast‑paced dock role in a manufacturing environment with exposure to raw materials and varying temperatures. We supply all required PPE and hold safety to the highest standard — because at the end of the day, everyone goes home safe.
