Schedule

What your day looks like

You begin by scanning workflow dashboards, coordinating reports between the floor and management, then taking a safety walk to spot and address risks. You’ll pivot between leading tasks and doing them—receiving inbound, picking and packing orders, cutting wire to spec, and preparing shipments. Before anything leaves the building, you’ll review complex orders and staged materials for accuracy and quality. You’ll also maintain monthly records for fuel surcharges and shipping costs. When assigned, you’ll step into formal supervisory duties to keep the team aligned and on target.

• Assist Supervisors by directing work assignments and coaching associates
• Track throughput metrics and facilitate reporting to and from management
• Conduct daily safety walk-throughs and communicate findings
• Verify quality on advanced or complex outbound orders and staged goods
