WAREHOUSE ASSOCIATE
Conklin Metal Industries | Nashville Branch
1150 Antioch Pike, Suite 250, Nashville, TN 37211
Monday–Friday | 7:00 AM–4:00 PM
THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE WAREHOUSE JOB
If you take pride in doing things right, know your way around a forklift, and want to work somewhere that will invest in your future, keep reading.
Conklin Metal Industries has been in business since 1874 and is still family owned and operated. We distribute sheet metal, HVAC, and duct fabrication supplies from 17 warehouses across the Southeast. Our Nashville branch is looking for a Warehouse Associate who is ready to show up, work hard, and grow with us.
We mean that last part. Warehouse Associates at Conklin have gone on to become Shipping Leads, Receiving Leads, Warehouse Managers, Inside Sales Representatives, Branch Managers, and Operations Managers. If you want a path, we have one. But it starts on the warehouse floor, and it starts with doing the basics exceptionally well.
LOCATION AND COMMUTE
We are located at 1150 Antioch Pike, Suite 250, Nashville, TN 37211, in the Antioch area off I-24 on the south side of Nashville. If you are commuting from Antioch, Smyrna, Murfreesboro, Brentwood, or the surrounding South Nashville area, you are in a great location. Our 7:00 AM start time also helps you get in and out ahead of the worst Nashville traffic.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
Your day will move quickly, and no two days will look exactly the same. You’ll help keep our operation running smoothly from the time product comes through the door until it leaves on a truck.
- Receive and verify incoming shipments against invoices, checking for accuracy and product condition
- Pull, stage, pack, and load outgoing deliveries and branch transfers without damaging product
- Load and secure trucks in accordance with DOT and Conklin standards
- Organize and maintain stock on shelving, bins, and overhangs according to company standards
- Monitor inventory and report discrepancies to management
- Operate a forklift safely as a regular part of your daily work
- Keep the warehouse clean, organized, and safe
- Complete all required paperwork accurately and on time
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
The people who thrive here tend to share a few things in common. They are detail-oriented and take quality seriously. They can work independently without needing to be watched, but they also understand what it means to be a dependable teammate. They move with a sense of urgency, take ownership of their work, and do not leave things half-finished.
You’re probably a strong fit if you:
- Have hands-on forklift experience and can operate one confidently and safely every day
- Have at least two years of warehouse experience in a fast-paced environment
- Pay close attention to detail, particularly when it comes to shipping and receiving accuracy
- Have inventory-control experience, although this is preferred rather than required
- Take safety seriously and consistently follow established procedures
- Can lift 50 pounds or more and maintain a high level of physical activity throughout your shift
- Are comfortable working in variable temperatures and occasionally adjusting your schedule based on workload
- Are dependable, coachable, and looking for a company where you can build a future
Forklift certification is preferred. A strong work ethic is required.
Please note: Any offer of employment will be conditional upon successful completion of a pre-employment background check and drug screen. The drug screen includes testing for marijuana.
