Logistics & Material Handling Specialist

Step into a hands-on logistics role where you keep projects moving by receiving, organizing, and transporting materials with precision and care. As a Logistics & Material Handling Specialist, you’ll ensure inventory is processed safely, accurately, and on time—every shift.

You start by reviewing inbound schedules and confirming receiving paperwork. A trailer backs into the dock—you verify counts, inspect for damage, and get product into the right slots. Using a sit-down or reach forklift and electric pallet jack, you move pallets to designated locations, label and organize inventory, and stage orders for outbound runs to job sites.

Midday, you pull pick tickets, consolidate materials, and double-check accuracy. You might deliver equipment or materials to a job site and pick up returns from vendors or supply houses—keeping detailed logs along the way. Throughout the day, you keep aisles clear, maintain housekeeping standards, and immediately flag any incorrect, short-shipped, or damaged items to your supervisor. You wrap up by updating documentation, conducting safety checks, and leaving the warehouse safe and accessible for your teammates.
