Shipping & Receiving Specialist Keep Precision Work Moving

Shipping & Receiving Specialist — Keep Precision Work Moving

$21–$27/hour, depending on experience | Englewood, Colorado | Full-time, day shift

A precision-machined part can take weeks to produce, pass dozens of inspections and be worth thousands of dollars. But if it is packaged incorrectly, shipped without the right documentation or sent to the wrong location, none of that matters.

That is why Shipping & Receiving is such an important part of Reata Engineering.

You will be one of the first people to handle the material and components entering our facility—and one of the last people to see our finished parts before they reach customers in aerospace, defense, medical, semiconductor and industrial markets.

This isn’t simply a warehouse job. It is a role for someone who takes pride in accuracy, organization and making sure every detail is right.

Your role in the story

When material arrives, you’ll verify that we received what we ordered, in the correct quantity, with the documentation and traceability our customers require. As jobs move through production and outside processing, you’ll help ensure the right materials, parts and paperwork stay together. When a job is ready to ship, you’ll confirm the quantity, documents, packaging, labeling and destination before it leaves our facility. You are helping protect weeks of work and ensuring Reata keeps its promise to the customer.|

Find your next level at Reata

We are interested in candidates with different levels of shipping, receiving, warehouse and manufacturing experience.

• If you are developing your skills, you may begin with receiving, labeling, material movement, packaging and carrier transactions while learning our systems and quality requirements.


• If you are more experienced, you can take greater ownership of shipment documentation, material traceability, outside-processing coordination, freight arrangements, inventory accuracy and workflow improvement.

As your capabilities grow, there may also be opportunities to develop skills in inventory control, purchasing, planning, quality, production support or Shipping & Receiving leadership.

What you’ll help us accomplish

Depending on your experience, you may:

• Receive raw material, purchased components and customer-supplied parts


• Match incoming shipments to purchase orders and packing slips


• Verify quantities, part numbers, material certifications and other required documents


• Identify and communicate shortages, damage or documentation discrepancies


• Label, organize and route material to the correct location


• Maintain material identity, lot information and traceability


• Stage materials, parts and paperwork for production and outside processing


• Package precision-machined parts to prevent damage, contamination or cosmetic issues


• Verify quantities, packing slips, certifications and shipping instructions


• Process shipments through UPS, FedEx, freight and courier systems


• Record receipts, movements and shipments accurately in our ERP system


• Help maintain accurate inventory and an organized, professional work area


• Look for ways to make material flow more accurate and efficient

You will not be expected to know every Reata process on your first day. You will be expected to care about accuracy, learn from mistakes and ask questions when something does not look right.

What you should bring

• At least one year of experience in shipping, receiving, warehousing, inventory or a related production environment


• Experience using computers and entering information accurately


• Strong attention to part numbers, quantities, documents and special instructions


• The ability to organize competing priorities without losing track of details


• Clear communication when something is missing, damaged or inconsistent


• Reliability and a willingness to help the team


• The judgment to stop and ask rather than guess

Experience in precision manufacturing, aerospace, medical devices or another regulated environment is helpful, but not required. Experience with ERP systems, UPS or FedEx software, inventory control, material certifications, freight coordination or forklift operation is also valuable.
