Reports to: Shipping Supervisor
Imagine starting your day with a quick huddle on the dock, scanning your queue in NAV, and mapping the flow of outbound orders. By mid-morning, you’re staging pallets, sorting product for domestic and international shipments, and moving seamlessly between Pick/Pack, Dock, International, and UPS/Fed-EX stations. After lunch, you’re verifying counts, running cycle checks, and printing labels before shrink-wrapping and loading trailers—pulling the manual dock chain with care. You wrap up by tidying your area, updating NAV with RF scans, and lending a hand on samples for upcoming shows.
