Job Description

Work Location: Van Buren, IN

Shifts Available: Day Shift 4:30am - 4:45pm 2-2-3 Schedule

Starting Hourly Pay: $20/hour

Who We Are:

At Weaver Popcorn Manufacturing, what you do matters. Every shift helps create the snacks people reach for during movie nights, celebrations, and everyday moments.

While popcorn is where we started, we’re growing into exciting new areas like ready-to-eat snacks. That means more opportunities, more stability, and more ways for you to build a lasting career with us.

If you enjoy hands-on work, staying active, and solving problems as they come your way while being part of a supportive, team-first environment, you’ll feel right at home here.

As a Logistics & Inventory Coordinator, you play a key role in keeping production and warehouse operations running efficiently. You’ll help ensure materials and finished goods are moved safely, tracked accurately, and available where they’re needed most.

In this role, you will:

• Safely operate forklifts, pallet jacks, and other industrial equipment
• Move raw materials and finished goods throughout the facility
• Support shipping and receiving activities while maintaining inventory accuracy
• Use AS400 systems to track inventory and complete transactions
• Load, unload, tag, and stage products according to specifications
• Perform quality and safety checks on incoming and outgoing materials
• Maintain FIFO (First In, First Out) inventory practices
• Keep warehouse and work areas clean, organized, and safe
• Communicate with production and warehouse teams to support daily operations

This is a hands-on role where no two shifts look exactly the same. You’ll stay active, solve problems in real time, and help keep products moving from production to customers safely and efficiently.

A Typical Day Might Include:

You begin your shift by reviewing priorities with the previous team and checking inventory needs for production. Throughout the day, you’ll transport materials, receive shipments, stage finished goods, and update inventory records in the AS400 system.

You’ll work closely with team members to keep production supplied, verify product quality, and ensure shipments are accurate and ready to go out on time.

What We’re Looking For:

No experience? No problem. We provide training and support to help you succeed.

We’re looking for dependable, motivated individuals who take pride in doing quality work and enjoy working as part of a team.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Take safety and quality seriously
• Stay organized and pay attention to detail
• Work well in a fast-paced environment
• Communicate clearly and work well with others
• Are willing to learn new equipment and systems
• Take ownership of your work and stay dependable
• Forklift certification or prior forklift experience
• Warehouse, logistics, or manufacturing experience
• Experience with AS400 or inventory management systems
• Food manufacturing or shipping/receiving experience

What We Offer:

At Weaver, we believe great work deserves great rewards. Our benefits are designed to support you both on and off the job:

• Starting pay of $20/hour
• Pay increases: +$0.50 after 90 days and +$0.50 after 6 months
• 2-2-3 schedule (just 7 working days every two weeks)
• 3 weeks of paid time off in your first year
• Health, dental, vision, and life insurance (eligible after 30 days)
• 401(k) with up to a 10% company match
