Position Overview
We are seeking two dependable, energetic Warehouse Associates to support a busy distribution center in Hoschton, Georgia. This is a hands-on position for someone who enjoys staying active, learning new responsibilities, and contributing wherever needed.
The role includes loading and unloading trucks, packaging products, building boxes, replenishing inventory bins, and moving materials throughout the warehouse. Forklift operation is required but represents only a small portion of the daily responsibilities.
Products are stored in warehouse racking reaching approximately 30 feet high. Employees use stand-up and sit-down forklifts to safely retrieve and store those materials; employees are not expected to work personally at that height.
The facility is not climate-controlled. Candidates must be comfortable working in normal seasonal temperatures, including summer heat and colder winter conditions.
