- Checking incoming and outgoing items for basic quality — making sure nothing’s damaged or out of place.

- Helping with inventory counts, and occasionally pitching in wherever an extra hand is needed.

- Reliability — our team counts on everyone showing up and doing their part
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still like to meet you — hard work and the right attitude go a long way here.
