Original job description
About JM Test Systems JM Test Systems provides calibration, repair, and test equipment solutions that help organizations keep their critical instruments accurate, compliant, and ready for work. We support customers across industries such as manufacturing, energy, utilities, and other sectors where precise measurement matters. The Opportunity Every instrument that comes through our doors starts its journey with receiving, and that’s where you come in. As our Receiving Clerk, you’ll be the first point of contact for incoming customer equipment, making sure every item is checked in, documented correctly, and routed to the right lab without delay. This role directly affects how quickly and accurately we serve our customers. When equipment is logged correctly and priority work is flagged early, our technicians can stay focused, turnaround times stay on track, and customers get their equipment back when they need it. You’ll help keep the whole operation moving, and your accuracy will be visible in the results. You’ll do well here if you take pride in getting details right, like working in a structured process, and stay steady when the workload picks up. If you enjoy keeping things organized and being the person the team can count on, this is a great place to build your experience. Key Responsibilities & Outcomes
- Receive and check in incoming equipment from customer drop-offs, shipments, and internal transfers, verifying each item against purchase orders and supporting documents.
- Enter accurate equipment data (manufacturer, model, serial number, and special requests) into internal systems and create complete work orders with all required documentation attached.
- Spot and flag priority work, including rush orders, warranty items, and new accounts, so time-sensitive equipment gets the attention it needs.
- Route equipment to the correct lab areas based on service requirements, helping technicians start work without delays or confusion.
- Handle customer drop-offs and pickups professionally and accurately, and assist with new account setup by gathering and entering customer information.
- Keep records current and reliable, including daily counts, pickup logs, and new account logs, and follow up on missing or incomplete information.
- Communicate issues early when problems or delays could affect workflow or turnaround time, and support the team to prevent bottlenecks.
- Maintain a clean, organized receiving and staging area and follow established procedures to keep work consistent and accurate.
What You Bring
Required:
- High school diploma or equivalent
- Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy in data entry and documentation
- Basic computer skills and willingness to learn internal systems
- Good organization and time management skills, with the ability to prioritize and handle multiple tasks
- Clear communication skills and a team-first, problem-solving mindset
Preferred:
- 1–2 years of experience in receiving, shipping, logistics, data entry, or a similar role
- Experience working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
Why JM Test Systems? At JM Test Systems, your work matters from day one. You’ll join a collaborative team where accuracy and reliability are valued, and where you’ll gain hands-on exposure to a wide range of test and measurement equipment and the industries that depend on it.

For someone looking to build a stable, long-term career, this is a strong place to start.
