We're looking for a

What You'll Be Doing
No two days look exactly the same, but here's the core of the role:

- Interpret Specs: Read blueprints, shipping notices, and other specifications to determine the correct container size, shape, and necessary supports.
- Pack & Protect: Secure heavy items by bolting them to the bottom of the container or skid. Wrap and pad products with packing material, build the crate around the article, and securely nail the cover on.
- Prep for Shipping: Wrap and tighten metal bands around crates. Attach identification labels or stencils noting shipping destination, weight, and type of product.
- Quality Control: Weigh loaded crates, count items to ensure compliance with shipping orders, and repair broken crates when needed.
- Maintain Workspace: Move containers to the shipping area, keep the crating area stocked with lumber and wrapping supplies, and maintain tools (including sharpening saw blades).
Basically: you make sure our signs travel safely and professionally.

- Comprehension: Able to read and comprehend simple instructions, short correspondence, and memos. Able to apply common sense to carry out detailed but uninvolved written or oral instructions.
- Communication: Able to write simple correspondence and effectively present information to teammates and other employees.
Education & Experience
