Keep Orders Moving Out the Door in Outbound Freight

We’re recruiting an Outbound Freight Associate for an established Traverse City fulfillment company that stores and ships products for online sellers. You’ll be part of the Outbound Freight department, the final stop before orders go out, where accuracy and pace both matter and your work helps get customers’ orders on the right truck.
You’ll work from orders and pick sheets, pull product using a fork truck, pack and label shipments, and make sure every package is sorted for the correct carrier. If you’re detail-oriented, comfortable working on your feet, and take pride in getting things right with minimal supervision, this is a good fit. Experience with warehouse or fulfillment software is a plus.

Read the SKU, quantity, and location from pick sheets and orders
Go to the correct warehouse location, pull the required product and quantity, and bring it back to the sorting area, driving a fork truck as needed
Select the correct box size and pack the product
Verify the number of boxes and scan the label on each package to produce a shipping label
Process special shipping requests, such as third-party bills, correctly
Place packages on the correct pallet or in the correct bin for the right shipping carrier
Work at a high level with or without direct supervision
Follow all safety policies and company policies, and encourage coworkers to do the same
Take on additional duties as needed

What We’re Looking For

Required:

High school diploma or GED, or equivalent knowledge and skills
Ability to get fork truck certified
Self-starter with strong attention to detail who works well with minimal supervision
Inventory and quality control experience
Computer skills, including proficiency in Excel and Word
Clear verbal and written communication with management and coworkers
Ability to walk, stand, push, twist, and bend for the length of your shift (generally 10 hours)
Ability to frequently lift customer merchandise from 0 to 50 pounds

Preferred:

Order fulfillment experience
Experience with warehouse management software or end-of-line software

Benefits May Include

Benefit eligibility and additional details will be reviewed during the recruiting process.

Why You’ll Like This Job

$18.00 per hour
Hands-on role with clear, measurable work
Work with fork trucks and scanning technology
Join an established Traverse City fulfillment company serving online sellers
Room to use inventory and quality skills in a fast-moving environment

Real Talk

This is a typical warehouse environment: expect noise, dust, and changes in temperature and lighting, with forklifts in use throughout the warehouse. You’ll be on your feet, walking, pushing, twisting, and bending for most of an 10-hour shift, and frequently lifting up to 50 pounds. Volume can rise and fall, so overtime and the occasional weekend may be needed. Accuracy matters at every step, because one wrong label or pallet can mean a late or incorrect shipment. If you like steady, detail-focused work and being trusted to run on your own, you’ll do well here.
