If you're someone who takes pride in organization, loves hands-on work, and has a teamwork mentality to collaborate with all departments that keep our community powered, this is your opportunity.
About the Role:
As our Warehouse Material Handler, you'll maintain the materials, supplies, and tools that keep our electric cooperative running smoothly. You'll be the go-to person ensuring our in-house crews and contractors have exactly what they need, when they need it, from transformers to everyday supplies.
What You'll Do:
Receiving & Stocking: Receive incoming materials, verify shipments against packing lists and purchase orders, inspect for quality and accuracy, and organize inventory by number and specification. You'll label transformers, handle salvaged materials, disassemble returned items for restocking, and ensure everything is stored properly and ready to go.

Inventory Management: Participate in regular inventory checks, verify material entries against work orders and maintenance records, review open order reports, and document any discrepancies for resolution. Accuracy matters, and you'll be essential in keeping our systems tight.
Warehouse Operations: Operate forklifts and other warehouse equipment safely. Keep the warehouse clean, organized, and efficient. When winter hits, you'll help with snow removal to keep operations moving. You'll also support the Facilities team with stocking, maintenance, and daily operations as needed.
What We're Looking For:
- Strong organizational skills and sharp attention to detail
- Experience with receiving, inventory management, and material handling
- Forklift certification or willingness to obtain one
- Self-starter who can work independently and prioritize effectively
- Good communication skills to coordinate with crews and contractors
