Job Description

Overview

We’re hiring Material Handlers for a growing, modern consumer packaged goods manufacturing facility.

This is a brand new, clean, air-conditioned, and growing facility. Team members work in the warehouse supporting daily production operations by moving materials, organizing inventory, and ensuring production teams have the supplies they need. There are multiple schedules available, with opportunities to cross-train across different areas and expand their skills over time.

What makes this role different:

  • Modern facility: Work in a newer, clean, air-conditioned manufacturing environment.
  • Cross-training: Learn different warehouse and material handling processes while building a broader manufacturing skillset.
  • Clear Promotion Path: A promote-from-within culture that can lead to advancement into other warehouse or production positions.

Compensation

  • Starting at $20.05/hr, with a $1.00/hr shift differential
  • Full-time, direct-hire – not a temp job
  • Full benefits

Shift

Multiple schedules are available, including:

  • 2nd shift (12-hour): 6pm – 6am

You will work on average 42 hours per week on a 2-2-3 schedule.

Responsibilities

  • Forklift Operation: Safely operate a standup forklift to move, stage, and transport materials throughout the warehouse and production areas.
  • Receiving and Shipping: Unload incoming ingredient deliveries, verify materials, and load finished goods onto outbound trucks.
  • Production Staging: Stage and backstage raw materials to production lines to ensure materials are available when needed.
  • Inventory Management: Complete accurate daily cycle counts and participate in monthly physical inventory counts.
  • Documentation: Accurately complete all shift documentation, follow daily standard work, and return required warehouse documents and charts at the end of each shift.
  • Safety and GMP Compliance: Follow all safety procedures and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) when handling, storing, and moving materials.
  • Housekeeping: Maintain a clean, organized warehouse and production support area, including adjacent work areas.
  • Operational Efficiency: Stay organized and manage time effectively to keep materials flowing and minimize production downtime.

Requirements

Required

  • Ability to move materials and perform physical warehouse work throughout a shift

  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced warehouse and manufacturing environment
  • Reliable attendance and punctuality

About Laborup

Laborup is the #1 AI powered talent platform for America’s industrial workforce. We use AI to create jobs, not take them away. We help HR and plant leaders hire and keep the skilled workers who keep plants running: machinists, welders, maintenance techs, operators, industrial electricians, and engineers. USA Today called us the “LinkedIn for blue collar workers,” and Forbes profiled our work in “How AI Is Solving America’s 1 Trillion Dollar Manufacturing Labor Crisis.”

Today we work with manufacturers from 50 person shops to large public companies with tens of thousands of employees, and the story is the same everywhere. It is hard to find talent, hard to keep good people, and staffing costs keep rising. In a market where filling critical industrial roles can take months and turnover is constant, Laborup helps teams move qualified workers from first contact to on site interview in days instead of weeks and keep them on the floor longer.

Most of the workers our customers need are not on LinkedIn or the usual job boards. Laborup uses AI to find this hidden workforce, call and text them, screen and qualify them, build real profiles, and match them directly to the plants and roles where they can succeed. For workers, that means real, permanent roles at serious manufacturers, not one off gigs. For companies, it is durable infrastructure for hiring and retention at scale in a labor market that will stay tight for years.

We work across nuclear, defense, and advanced manufacturing, as well as sectors like aerospace, automotive, and food production. Teams that use Laborup hire 5 to 10 times faster, see around 3 times better retention, and cut cost per hire by up to 50 to 70 percent. That turns into fewer empty shifts, fewer missed orders, more stable teams, and more capacity without more headache.

We are building the modern talent system for America’s industrial base with a simple long term goal: put a billion industrial workers to work in good jobs that matter.
