My job title is Forklift Operator, but since I have showed I can handle more, they utilize me as FLEX and have me receive material with the other material handlers when we need to hit our quota for the shift. Utilize SAP (Systems Applications and Products) to receive items. Sort material onto pallets after processing and placing labels on packages depending on what warehouse and aisle location it is destined for. Frustrate any packages that are not consigned to our location, if it is a short or overage, if it is damaged, and if it is not loaded in the system.
Transport material that cant fit in our warehouse to our 2nd building using a straight truck. Collect documentation for everything that is moved to spare warehouse and create a chain of custody form and collect signature at other end.
