Warehouse Associate - Pipe Yard

Location: Laurel

About Shepherd Electric Supply Since 1892, Shepherd Electric Supply has been the first call when complex, time-critical electrical challenges need to be solved, and reliability truly matters. We move materials accurately and on time, so contractors stay on schedule, projects stay on track, and customers never have to wonder if we will come through. Our success comes from people who take pride in doing things the right way — safely, accurately, and with care for teammates and customers alike.

If you want to do work that matters at a company that notices, this is the place. Why This Role Matters The Pipe Yard is one of the most visible parts of how Shepherd delivers on its promise. When a contractor pulls up to pick up conduit, they are trusting that what was ordered is staged correctly, counted accurately, and ready to load.

That trust starts here. This is not a background role. The Warehouse Associate – Pipe Yard is on the front line of fulfillment — pulling pipe and conduit for customers and branches, working as part of a crew, operating equipment safely, and keeping the yard organized and accurate every shift. What you do directly affects whether contractors can build on schedule and whether Shepherd keeps its word.

If you take pride in physical work done right, accuracy matters to you, and you like being part of a crew that holds itself to a standard — this role was built for you. Work Shift and

Customers and branches count on accurate picks, correct counts, and material that is ready when they arrive. A wrong count or a missed pull is not a minor inconvenience — it delays a job site. Accuracy and follow-through are how you keep the promise every shift. We Stay Hungry:
You look for better ways to organize the yard, improve staging flow, and reduce errors. When something is not working, you say so. Continuous improvement in a pipe yard is real and it matters. We Grow Together:
You work within a crew. That means communicating clearly, covering for each other when volume spikes, and making sure nobody is left without what they need. Yard success is crew success. We Own It:
When a count is off or material is staged in the wrong location, you address it — you do not walk past it. Ownership here means the yard reflects your standard, not just what you were assigned. We Go Above & Beyond:
You anticipate the next pull. You stage material before it is asked for. You notice when the yard needs attention before it becomes a problem. That is what above-and-beyond looks like in this role.
