Shipper Receiver

As a Shipper Receiver, you will be the backbone of the warehouse operations. This position is perfect for someone who enjoys a "hands-on" role, as the majority of your day will be spent operating a counterbalance forklift to manage incoming and outgoing shipments. Because our client specializes in high-quality mobile equipment, the Shipper Receiver must be comfortable navigating a tighter space environment where precision and safety are paramount. Accuracy is key in this role; you will act as an Inventory Specialist, utilizing your strong computer skills and attention to detail to ensure every nut, bolt, and piece of machinery is accounted for.

Our recruiters are experts in the manufacturing and logistics sector and are committed to finding the right fit for your skills and career ambitions.
