From advanced workholding systems to zero-point technology, we design, build, and deliver solutions that empower machinists and manufacturers worldwide. Behind every successful manufacturing operation is a materials team making sure the right product is in the right place at the right time. We're looking for dependable, organized Material Handlers to support the movement, staging, organization, and control of materials throughout our manufacturing operations. A Hands-On Role at the Center of Manufacturing As a Material Handler , you'll help keep materials and product flowing between receiving, inventory, production, assembly, and shipping. Depending on your experience and demonstrated skills, responsibilities may range from foundational material-handling and inventory activities to more independent responsibility for material movement, inventory transactions, production support, and problem resolution. What the Job Looks Like Production needs material for the next job—you locate, verify, and stage it for the appropriate work area. Material arrives from a supplier—you help receive, identify, organize, and move it to the correct location. Finished or partially completed product needs to move to the next operation—you make sure it gets there safely and accurately. Physical inventory doesn't match the system—you identify the discrepancy and help get it resolved. Production priorities change—you adjust material movement and staging to support the updated schedule. Throughout the day, you help keep inventory and material-storage areas safe, organized, and accurate. What You'll Do Here Receive, move, stage, organize, and distribute materials, components, and finished product throughout the facility. Support material requirements for production, assembly, warehouse, and shipping operations. Verify materials, quantities, part numbers, and related documentation as required. Perform inventory transactions and maintain accurate material records within Company systems. Pick and stage materials based on production and operational requirements. Support receiving, inventory, replenishment, and material-storage activities. Identify material shortages, discrepancies, damage, or inventory concerns and escalate issues appropriately. Move product between work centers and departments to support production flow. Safely operate applicable material-handling equipment based on training and authorization. Assist with cycle counts and physical inventory activities. Maintain organized material, inventory, and staging locations. Follow established material-control, quality, safety, and production procedures. Support continuous improvement and workplace organization activities. Perform other duties as assigned. What You'll Bring Experience in material handling, warehouse, inventory, manufacturing, shipping and receiving, logistics, or a related environment is preferred. Ability to accurately identify, organize, move, and track materials and product. Strong attention to detail and commitment to inventory accuracy. Ability to follow work instructions, production requirements, and established procedures. Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced manufacturing environment with changing priorities. Strong organization, communication, and problem-solving skills. Ability to work independently and as part of a production team. Experience with ERP, inventory, warehouse, or material-management systems is preferred. Epicor experience is a plus. Forklift, pallet jack, or other material-handling equipment experience is a plus. A high school diploma or equivalent. Who This Role Is Ideal For Material Handlers looking to grow within a manufacturing environment. Warehouse or inventory professionals interested in supporting precision manufacturing. Shipping and receiving employees with strong inventory and material-control skills. Manufacturing employees with experience staging and moving material to support production. Experienced Material Handlers who can work independently and help resolve inventory or material-flow issues. Organized, dependable people who take pride in keeping operations moving. Why You'll Love Working With Us Competitive pay with performance-based bonus opportunities 100% company-paid medical coverage available for employees Company-paid life and disability insurance 401(k) with up to a 5% company match Generous paid time off and paid holidays Training and meaningful opportunities for career advancement A supportive, non-corporate culture where your ideas matter Company-sponsored team events and activities Ready to Keep Manufacturing Moving?
