Our U.S. warehouse and customer service team are here in West Chicago. This is the desk job that keeps the warehouse running. You work at the office window inside the warehouse — taking in driver paperwork, entering orders, keeping inventory current, and answering questions about where a shipment is. Most days you are at the desk. Now and then the dock gets busy and we'll ask you to help build a pallet or load a truck. We care more about getting it right than getting it fast. A wrong count or a bad part number causes far more trouble than a slow hour. The paperwork can't sit either, so what we are really after is someone organized and steady who doesn't let things pile up.
