Yard and Warehouse Associate

Job Description

The yard and warehouse associate is an entry-level position, responsible for the logistics of receiving, processing, documenting, and storing inventory. The yard and warehouse associate assists the purchasing and materials supervisor (supervisor) with inventory management by maintaining accurate counts of all materials entering and exiting the property and by conducting periodic counts.

The yard and warehouse associate is responsible for organizing and storage of materials, inventory, and equipment, including adding appropriate labels for quick retrieval for installation or counting. The yard and warehouse associate is also responsible for retrieving, preparing, and loading outbound materials and inventory for employees and subcontractors. This may require occasional after-hours on-call reporting at Lake Point during network outages.

Included in the list of responsibilities are facilities, landscaping, and yard maintenance tasks, including occasional facilities, landscaping, and yard maintenance tasks at remote facilities owned or leased by the companies in Utah and Nevada, as well as assisting the supervisor in supervising subcontractors contracted to perform heavier facilities, landscaping, and maintenance tasks.

Under the direction of the supervisor, the yard and warehouse associate will test and process customer return shipments and vendor RMAs. At the direction of the controller, the yard and warehouse associate will help retire materials and equipment, including preparing items for disposal, shipment, recycling, or resell.

The yard and warehouse associate will be expected to purchase, pick up, and deliver materials. This would include the pickup and delivery of vehicles, equipment, materials, and inventory to or from vendors, contractors, or worksites, as well as occasional delivery or counting of materials, equipment, and inventory at remote work locations in Utah and Nevada.

Regular duties involve loading and unloading trucks, trailers, and other equipment using a variety of methods and equipment, including hand lifting, hand trucks, pallet jacks, forklifts, skid-steer loaders, and backhoes. This job will also involve tracking and moving inventory as small as screws and as large as 10-foot,10,000-pound reels of conduit and fiber optic cable.

This job will be fun, physically active, and demanding. It will entail being both indoors and outdoors, daily, year-round, in all weather conditions. It will require the candidate to quickly and efficiently load construction crews first thing each morning, stage materials and inventory for subcontractor pickup, receive and account for deliveries throughout the day, then check that sheds and equipment are locked up when the teams go home.

It will also mean reporting for duty and assisting with network outages as needed after regular business hours.

This is not a work-from-home position and will not transition into a work-from-home position.

Parts of this job involve sitting at a desk entering data into a computer system, responding to email and direct messages from colleagues, but the majority of the job involves receiving, unloading, storing, retrieving, preparing, and loading materials, inventory, and equipment in and out of the office, while responding to email and direct messages from colleagues.
