Familiarity with warehouse management systems (WMS), inventory scanners, forklifts, and safety certifications like OSHA are typically required. Attention to detail, teamwork, and reliability are standout soft skills in this role. These abilities ensure efficient, safe, and accurate movement of materials, supporting smooth warehouse and supply chain operations.
