Shipping Clerk

As a Shipping Clerk in the manufacturing & logistics industry, you will play a critical role in ensuring that products reach our customers accurately and on time. Working within a tight-knit "small shop" environment, you will be responsible for the full cycle of goods movement, from inspecting incoming orders to preparing outgoing freight. This role requires a blend of physical stamina and administrative precision, as you will be utilizing shipping software and Microsoft Excel to track inventory and maintain records.

In this manufacturing & logistics position, versatility is key. Because we operate as a specialized team, the ideal Shipping Clerk is someone who is proactive; when the shipping docks are quiet, you are ready to jump in and assist with other operational tasks to keep the facility running smoothly. Your expertise in manufacturing & logistics will help maintain the high standards of quality and efficiency that our clients expect.
