Fulfillment Operations Associate (Material Handling & RF Scanning)

Location: Tacoma, WA — conveniently near a bus line
Hire Type: Full-Time
Shifts: 1st, 2nd, or 3rd (Monday–Friday)

A day in this role

You clock in and jump right into the flow of the warehouse—moving product safely off trucks, confirming manifests, and inspecting items for damage. As orders drop, you’ll navigate aisles with an RF/RFID scanner or pick list, pull the right SKUs, pack with care, wrap pallets, and stage outbound shipments. Throughout the shift, you’ll help with cycle counts, top off inventory locations, and keep aisles clear of shrink wrap, pallets, and cardboard so the team can move quickly and safely.

Choose your path

• General Labor — Hands-on material handling and facility upkeep.
• Picker/Packer (RFID Scanner) — Order fulfillment using RF/RFID devices and WMS.
• Forklift Operator — Safe, efficient movement of pallets and loading/unloading.

Apply for the track that fits you. We’ll train motivated candidates; specific experience is only required for the role you select (e.g., forklift experience for forklift roles).

Pay ranges

• $18/hr — General Labor
• $19/hr — Pickers/Packers using an RFID Scanner
• $19–$21/hr — Forklift Operator (higher end with current certification)

Core responsibilities

• Receiving & Unloading: Unload trailers, verify shipment details, and check for damage.
• Picking & Packing: Use RF scanners or pick-lists to select items and package securely.

• Shipping & Loading: Wrap pallets, label accurately, and load outbound trucks.

What you bring

• Physical readiness: Walk/stand for a full shift and lift up to 50 lbs regularly.
• Tech comfort: Familiar with RF scanners or WMS a plus.
