Driver and Material Handler

Transportation Driver & Material Handler

Location: Haven Distribution Center, Lakewood, CA Employment type: Full-time, hourly (non-exempt)
Reports to: President of Supply Chain Compensation: $20.75 to $21.50 per hour, depending on experience

Haven is a California cannabis company with retail, cultivation, manufacturing, and distribution under one roof, and our Distribution Center is what keeps every Haven store stocked. This role keeps product moving: you run our daily store deliveries, and when you are not on the road you work alongside the warehouse team receiving, processing, and staging product. It is a steady, full-time seat with a predictable schedule and real room to learn the distribution side of a growing operation.

Driving (about two delivery runs a day):

• Deliver product from the DC to Haven retail stores on a set daily schedule.
• Before each run, confirm the load is right: invoice counts, METRC tags, bin labels, and total product count all match before you leave the DC.
• Transport product safely and in line with California compliance rules: travel with the manifest, keep the load secured, and follow your route.
• Keep the vehicle clean and road-ready, do a full walk‑around at every stop, and flag any maintenance need right away.
• Coordinate pickups, returns, and timing with the team.

Warehouse and material handling (the rest of the day):

• Receive and count incoming product against the manifest.
• Enter and reconcile inventory accurately in Distru and METRC.
• Put product away, label it, and keep the floor organized.
• Pull and stage orders for store deliveries.
• Follow FIFO, and move problem or aging inventory to the right place instead of leaving it.

• 21 years or older (required to handle and transport cannabis).
• A valid California driver's license and a clean driving record. No commercial license needed.
• Dependable and punctual. This seat keeps our stores stocked, so being there and being on time matters.
• Comfortable with everyday technology and willing to learn our systems (Distru, METRC, Ring Central). Accuracy counts as much as speed.
• Able to follow a step‑by‑step process the same way every time.
• A team player who can move between driving and warehouse work as the day calls for it.

Nice to have:

• Delivery driving, warehouse, distribution, or logistics experience.
• Experience in licensed cannabis or another regulated, inventory‑tracked environment.

• Lift and carry up to 50 pounds repeatedly through the shift.
• Stand, walk, bend, and move product for most of the day.
• Load and unload the vehicle by hand and with equipment.
• Drive for stretches across the delivery route.
