Job Shop Inventory Specialist

Overview

We're hiring Inventory Control Specialists for our Nashville manufacturing facility.

You'll kit the material that keeps production moving, pulling heavy, oversized steel components with forklifts and combi-lifts, then staging them at assembly, mechanical processing, and welding cells. Every move gets logged in the inventory system.

The job runs in two halves: material handling on the floor, and accurate transactions in the system.
