Shipping and Receiving Associate
About The Position
We are looking for a detail-oriented Shipping & Receiving Associate to join our hydraulic distribution team. This isn’t just about moving boxes; you’ll be the gatekeeper of high-precision components—from massive telescopic cylinders to tiny O-rings. You’ll ensure our customers get the right parts to keep their heavy machinery running, while maintaining a safe and organized warehouse. Founded in 1923, Applied Industrial Technologies (NYSE: AIT) is a leading value-added distributor and technical solutions provider of industrial motion, fluid power, flow control, automation technologies, and related maintenance supplies. Our leading brands, specialized services, and comprehensive knowledge serve MRO and OEM end users in virtually all industrial markets through our multi-channel capabilities that provide choice, convenience, and expertise. Applied Industrial Technologies is built on a philosophy that puts people first. We are an equal opportunity employer, and we are committed to a workforce in which we enforce fair treatment and provide growth opportunities for everyone. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of age, race, color, national origin, genetics, religion, gender, marital status, physical or mental disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
Requirements
- Experience: 1–2 years in a warehouse environment; experience with industrial or automotive parts (hydraulics, pneumatics, or HVAC) is a huge plus.
- Physical Stamina: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and remain on your feet for the duration of the shift.
- Tech-Savvy: Comfortable using Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and handheld scanners.
- Certifications: Forklift certification preferred (we will provide training if needed).
- Precision: An eye for detail—in the world of hydraulics, a 1/16" difference in a fitting size matters.
Responsibilities
- Inventory Inbound: Receive incoming shipments, verify packing slips against physical inventory, and inspect for damage.
- Technical Picking: Accurately pull hydraulic hoses, pumps, valves, and fittings based on digital or paper pick tickets.
- Quality Control: Ensure all outgoing components meet quality standards and are packaged securely to prevent leaks or damage during transit.
- Hose & Fitting Management: Organize and stock specialized inventory, including "binning" small fittings and managing heavy spools of hydraulic hose.
- Logistics Coordination: Prepare shipping labels and documentation for LTL (Less Than Truckload) and small parcel carriers (UPS/FedEx).
- Warehouse Maintenance: Operate forklifts and pallet jacks safely while maintaining a clean, "5S" standard workspace.
