Build it, pack it, ship it right.
At our Muskegon Branch, you will do a mix of hands-on hose assembly and core warehouse work. You’ will build and test high- and low-pressure hose assemblies and keep inventory accurate. You will also pick, pack, and ship customer orders. If you like variety, take pride in accurate work, and want steady weekday hours, this is a great fit.
What You Will Do
-
Build hose assemblies. Assemble, inspect, and test high- and low-pressure hose assemblies to spec so every one is safe and ready for the customer.
-
Fill orders accurately. Pick parts from pick lists, then pack, label, and complete carrier paperwork for outbound shipments.
-
Receive and stock product. Receive incoming shipments, put product away, and restock pick locations.
-
Keep inventory accurate. Perform cycle counts, organize storage for efficiency, and report discrepancies or damaged goods.
-
Work safely. Operate forklifts and other material handling equipment following OSHA rules, and keep your work area clean and hazard-free.
-
Learn and grow. Cross-train in other areas of the branch to build new skills.
