Work assigned schedules, including nights, weekends, holidays, and overtime based on business needs.
Safely and accurately handle oversized, high‑value, or complex freight.
Assist with dock coordination, workflow management, and problem resolution.
Prioritize freight and coordinate task assignments, sometimes acting in a lead capacity (without direct supervisory responsibility).
Serve as a subject‑matter expert on dock operations, equipment, and procedures.
Train, mentor, and support the development of other Material Handlers.
All other duties as assigned to meet evolving business needs.

Experience: 3+ years of dock or warehouse experience required.
Communication: Ability to communicate effectively in English, verbally and in writing, to understand safety and operational instructions, work assignments, and freight documentation.

Ability to maintain regular and predictable attendance.
