Shipping & Warehouse Associate

Overview

We’re looking for a detail-driven and flexible Shipping Associate to join a fast-evolving logistics team at a long-established Knoxville manufacturer entering a new era of growth. In this hands-on, hybrid role, you’ll split your time between the computer and the warehouse floor, accurately processing e-commerce orders, coordinating LTL freight shipments, and ensuring products are packed, labeled, and shipped with precision.

This is more than a shipping job. It’s a launchpad into a cross-trained, high-growth environment where you’ll be encouraged to learn receiving, explore new production areas, and help shape the company’s next chapter as it reinvests in people, processes, and performance.

You’ll thrive here if you’re confident in Excel, comfortable operating forklifts, and excited to get your hands dirty while keeping customer orders accurate and on schedule.
