Warehouse Material Handler – Yampa Valley Electric Association Keep the Power Flowing‑From Behind the Scenes

Yampa Valley Electric Association is looking for a reliable, detail‑oriented Warehouse Material Handler to be the backbone of our materials operations. If you're someone who takes pride in organization, loves hands‑on work, and has a teamwork mentality to collaborate with all departments that keep our community powered, this is your opportunity.

As our Warehouse Material Handler, you'll maintain the materials, supplies, and tools that keep our electric cooperative running smoothly. You'll be the go‑to person ensuring our in‑house crews and contractors have exactly what they need, when they need it, from transformers to everyday supplies.

You'll label transformers, handle salvaged materials, disassemble returned items for restocking, and ensure everything is stored properly and ready to go.

• Warehouse Operations: Operate forklifts and other warehouse equipment safely. Keep the warehouse clean, organized, and efficient. When winter hits, you'll help with snow removal to keep operations moving. You'll also support the Facilities team with stocking, maintenance, and daily operations as needed.

• Strong organizational skills and sharp attention to detail
• Experience with receiving, inventory management, and material handling
• Forklift certification or willingness to obtain one
