Safely and accurately handle oversized, high‑value, or complex freight.
Assist with dock coordination, workflow management, and problem resolution.
Prioritize freight and coordinate task assignments, sometimes acting in a lead capacity (without direct supervisory responsibility).
Serve as a subject‑matter expert on dock operations, equipment, and procedures.
Train, mentor, and support the development of other Material Handlers.
All other duties as assigned to meet evolving business needs.

Experience: 3+ years of dock or warehouse experience required.
Communication: Ability to communicate effectively in English, verbally and in writing, to understand safety and operational instructions, work assignments, and freight documentation.

Technology: Willingness and ability to learn and use basic computer systems, handheld scanners, and freight-tracking devices.
Equipment: Ability to safely operate material handling equipment (MHE) such as pallet jacks, dollies, hand trucks, order pickers, pallet riders, conveyors, dock plates, dock levelers, sit-down/stand-up forklifts and reach trucks (with company-assisted certification/training), and/or other specialized MHE as required by the site.
Ability to maintain regular and predictable attendance.
