Find & Apply For Inventory Associate Jobs in Cairo, New York

Built to last. Staffed to grow. Trailers Inc. is an independent, owner-operated trailer dealership based in Cairo, New York, serving contractors, landscapers, farms, municipalities, and retail customers across the Hudson Valley and Catskills for the past 33 years. We sell, service, and stock parts for utility, dump, enclosed, car hauler, and equipment trailers — including Aluma, Belmont, CAM Superline, Durabull, N&N, Nordtek, and PACE American — along with related equipment.

Three services under one roof:

Trailer Sales, Service & Repair, and Parts. That mix is deliberate. As the regional's premier dealer, our service bays and parts counter keep running — which means our people keep working. We are a New York State licensed inspection station and a warranty-authorized service point for the brands we carry, so the work coming through our shop is steady, skilled, and year-round rather than seasonal.

Why people build careers here:

Stability. A diversified dealership model — sales, service, and parts — insulates our team from the swings that hit single-line shops. We are structured for growth, with defined department leadership and clear advancement paths as the business scales. Real benefits. Health, and vision coverage, paid time off and paid holidays, and an employer-sponsored retirement plan for full-time employees. We pay for you to get better. Trailers Inc. covers the cost of role-specific training and certifications — NYS Motor Vehicle Inspector, forklift, CDL, NATM Trailer Tech, QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor — because a more capable team is a more profitable one. You know where you stand. Every role has a written job description, weighted accountabilities, and defined performance measures. Reviews happen at 30, 60, and 90 days, then annually. No guesswork about expectations, and results inform pay, promotion, and recognition. Small-company access. You work directly with ownership and management. Good ideas get heard and implemented the same week, not filed away in a corporate queue. Predictable schedule. Standard hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Our people go home to their families at night. Position Summary The Sales Lot / Warehouse Manager owns end-to-end management of the Trailers Inc. sales lot, storage yard, and parts / accessory warehouse. Under the direction of the General Manager, this role receives inbound trailers and freight, controls yard and warehouse layout, keeps BlackPurl (our Dealer Management System) and QuickBooks Online inventory records accurate, greets and sells to walk-in customers, keeps the Trailers Inc. website and Shopify / third-party marketplace listings current, and stages sold units for delivery. It is a hands-on, in-person role for someone who is equally comfortable running a forklift, running a cycle count, and running a walk-around with a customer. What You'll Do Customer Experience Greet walk-in customers within 2 minutes, maintain a clean and professional lot / warehouse presence, and support Sales, Parts, and Service teammates on customer hand-offs. Inventory Management (Procurement, Audits, BlackPurl / QBO Logging) Receive inbound trailers and warehoused parts / accessory freight against POs and packing slips; verify VIN, condition, and quantities before acceptance. Coordinate PDI staging, wash / detail, hitch and accessory install, and photo staging so every stocked unit is retail-ready before it is listed. Maintain a secure, orderly yard — chocking, alignment, tongue-jack blocking, tire condition, plate / tag control, key cabinet, and lot lighting. Operate a rolling weekly cycle-count schedule covering 100% of the parts / accessory SKU base each rolling quarter and a monthly full-lot trailer count; document variances and post approved adjustments. Lead the annual wall-to-wall physical inventory and produce the reconciled valuation report with the General Manager, Bookkeeper, and outside CPA. Post trailer and warehouse receipts in BlackPurl within 1 business day of arrival and mirror inventory items and Purchase Orders in QuickBooks Online. Assign and maintain lot / yard / bin locations for every unit and SKU; enforce FIFO rotation on stocked accessories, hitches, and small goods. Reconcile lot / warehouse on-hand quantity and value monthly between BlackPurl, Shopify, and QuickBooks Online. Onsite & Online Sales Capture every walk-in / phone / web lead in the CRM within 24 hours; conduct on-lot walk-arounds, hitch / brake-controller demonstrations, and accessory up-sell conversations. Prepare configured build sheets, out-the-door price ranges, and accessory add-on quotes in BlackPurl within approved pricing and margin guardrails. Maintain the Trailers Inc. website, Shopify storefront, and third-party marketplace listings (photos, specs, prices, availability, VIN, stock number) with same-week updates. Photograph and merchandise every new stocked unit within 3 business days of retail-ready status. Fulfill online accessory and parts orders shipped from the warehouse daily — pick, pack, print shipping labels, and update tracking / order status in Shopify. Stage sold units for delivery — final wash, plate / temp-tag installation, paperwork packet, hitch-height set — and coordinate customer pickup or delivery windows. Operational Support Maintain accurate records of work performed, timesheets, receiving logs, cycle-count sheets, and material usage. Document any lot, yard, or warehouse incidents or accidents within 24 hours. Participate in training and certification courses and help train new personnel as directed. What We're Looking For (Required Qualifications) High School Diploma or GED. Valid NYS driver's license and clean MVR. Forklift certification — held now or attainable within 90 days. Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook), including basic inventory workbooks. Working knowledge of — or demonstrated ability to quickly learn — BlackPurl (our Dealer Management System), Shopify inventory / merchandising, and QuickBooks Online inventory items and Purchase Orders. Prior experience receiving inbound freight or trailers against POs and packing slips. Ability to lift up to 75 pounds routinely and 100 pounds occasionally with assistance, and to work outdoors year-round on the sales lot / yard. Professional, respectful customer-facing communication on the lot, in the warehouse, and over the phone. Nice to Have (Preferred Qualifications) Associate degree or technical certificate in Business, Inventory / Supply Chain, or a related field. CDL Class A or B, or willingness to obtain on the job, for demo-tow duty. Prior trailer, RV, powersports, auto, or heavy-equipment dealership experience.
