ABOUT CONKLIN METAL INDUSTRIES
Conklin Metal Industries is a fourth-generation, family-owned distributor of sheet metal, HVAC, and duct fabrication supplies. We were founded in 1874, and for 150 years we have built a reputation on reliability, quality, and taking care of our people.
We serve the entire Southeast through a growing network of warehouse locations. Our customers include sheet metal contractors, mechanical contractors, HVAC service specialists, duct fabricators, and residential and commercial new construction teams. If it goes into a duct system, we stock it.
This is not a nameless warehouse job at a faceless corporation. You will know your manager, your team, and your customers. What you do here matters.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
This is a full-time, day shift warehouse role with a Monday through Friday schedule. You will be part of the team that keeps our Summerville branch running, making sure product gets received accurately, stored correctly, and shipped out on time. Forklift experience is required, but this is a well-rounded warehouse role, not a single-task position.
Day-to-day responsibilities include:
- Receiving and verifying incoming shipments against invoices and ensuring product arrives in good condition
- Accurately completing all required receiving paperwork
- Organizing and stocking merchandise within the warehouse according to company standards
- Following and enforcing all safety protocols, including proper racking and storage procedures
- Identifying and reporting missing or damaged inventory to management
- Pulling, staging, packing, and loading outgoing deliveries and transfers with care
- Loading and securing trucks in compliance with DOT and Conklin standards
- Keeping the warehouse clean, organized, and safe at all times
WHO THRIVES IN THIS ROLE
The people who do best in this position share a few things in common. They show up consistently and take their work seriously. They pay attention to the details that most people overlook. They communicate well with their team, pitch in when things get busy, and take pride in doing the job right the first time.
This is a role for someone who is reliable and self-directed. You do not need someone looking over your shoulder to stay on task. You take ownership of your area, your work, and the results.
If you are the kind of person who shows up ready to work, keeps a level head when things get hectic, and cares about how your work reflects on the team, this role is a strong fit.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- Ability to lift 50+ pounds regularly and sustain a high level of physical activity throughout the shift
- Forklift experience required; certification preferred
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to stay organized in a fast-paced environment
- Effective communication and solid teamwork skills
- Problem-solving mindset with strong task prioritization
- Willingness to work overtime as business needs require
- Comfortable working in varying temperatures depending on the season
- ERP experience preferred; Prophet 21 a plus
- WMS experience and RF scan gun proficiency preferred
PAY AND BENEFITS
We offer a competitive pay and benefits package built for people who plan to stick around and grow with us.
- Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
- Life Insurance
- 401(k) with a 4% company match
- Annual profit-sharing program
- Paid Time Off (PTO)
- 10 company-paid holidays
OUR HIRING PROCESS
We keep it straightforward. Here is what to expect:
- Submit your application through this posting.
- Phone Interview. If your application is a strong match, one of our recruiters will reach out to schedule a brief phone call to learn more about your background and experience.
- Behavioral Assessment. If the phone interview goes well, you will be asked to complete a quick 5-minute behavioral assessment. There are no right or wrong answers. It simply helps us understand how you are wired and make sure the role is a great fit for you, not just us.
- In-Person Interview. The final step is an on-site interview with the Branch Manager at our Summerville location. You will get a real look at the warehouse, meet the team, and walk away knowing exactly what the day-to-day job looks like before you accept an offer.
