- Receive incoming products and verify quantities, specifications, condition, and quality.
- Stock and rotate products according to FIFO (First In, First Out) procedures.
- Monitor expiration dates and assist with physical inventory counts.
- Operate warehouse equipment, including forklifts and pallet-handling equipment, when trained and authorized.
- Complete and maintain delivery, temperature, maintenance, and other required records.
- Process and handle documents such as sales orders, invoices, purchase orders, and bills of lading.
- Maintain clean, organized, and safe warehouse areas, trucks, and equipment.
- Communicate with warehouse staff, management, customers, and other departments as needed.
- Perform other job-related duties assigned by the Warehouse Manager.
