Overview
Cedarwood is looking for a reliable, organized, mechanically minded part-time Warehouse & Inventory Associate to help keep our warehouse clean, safe, organized, and ready for daily operations.
This is a steady part-time position, approximately 20 hours per week, and is expected to remain part-time for the foreseeable future. The regular schedule is expected to be Monday through Friday, approximately 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with occasional flexibility to stay slightly later when inbound freight, outbound shipments, or special warehouse needs require it.
This role is a good fit for someone who wants consistent long-term part-time work, takes pride in order and safety, and can work independently in a small-business environment.
We are not looking for someone who rushes through tasks. We are looking for someone careful, steady, observant, dependable, and safety-minded.
What You’ll Do
- Keep warehouse areas clean, organized, labeled, and safe.
- Pick, pack, label, palletize, wrap, and stage standard outbound orders so they are ready for LTL pickup or customer pickup by noon whenever possible.
- Receive, move, stage, and organize inbound materials, inventory, and supplies.
- Help prepare materials, parts, and orders for production or shipment.
- Assist with shipping, receiving, and general warehouse support.
- Safely move materials using pallet jacks, carts, forklifts, or other warehouse equipment as trained and authorized.

- Notice and report unsafe conditions, damaged materials, equipment concerns, or anything that does not look right.
- Help improve warehouse organization and flow over time.
- Run occasional local errands or pickups using a company vehicle when needed.
- Communicate clearly with supervisors and coworkers about priorities, problems, and completed work.
What We’re Looking For
The right person should have good mechanical common sense. You do not need to be a mechanic or handyman, but you should be comfortable around tools, equipment, racks, pallets, straps, carts, materials, and warehouse movement.

A strong candidate will be:
- Reliable and punctual.
- Organized and detail-oriented.

- Careful and safety-minded.
- Mechanically inclined.
- Able to recognize when something is unsafe, unstable, overloaded, damaged, or outside their scope.

- Ability to reliably report to our warehouse for the regular weekday morning schedule.

- Mechanical aptitude and good common sense around equipment and materials.
- Ability to perform the essential physical functions of the job, with or without reasonable accommodation.
- Ability to work approximately 20 hours per week on a long-term part-time basis.
- Recent forklift or material-handling experience preferred, or willingness to be trained if needed.
