Supreme is a growing, entrepreneurial organization with a strong commitment to quality, customer service, and continuous improvement. As we scale toward our next stage of growth, we are building a modern, data-driven, and people-focused company. We believe that our team members are the key to our long-term success, and we invest in developing talent, strengthening culture, and improving the employee experience across all departments.

We are looking for a hands-on Shipper/Receiver with strong experience in industrial materials, especially metals to join our operations team.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys a fast-paced shop/yard environment, takes pride in accuracy, and has experience handling, moving, and organizing heavy materials safely and efficiently.

You’ll play a key role in keeping production and shipping running smoothly by ensuring materials are received, tracked, staged, and shipped correctly. If you have experience with forklifts, overhead cranes, rigging, or loading steel/materials onto trucks, this is a strong fit.

We are especially interested in individuals with a background in welding or fabrication who are looking to move into a less production-focused role while still working closely with metals, steel handling, and shop operations. This position offers a strong fit for someone who wants to step away from welding while staying in the industry.

• Kit materials and components to support internal production needs

• Safely operate forklifts (required) and overhead cranes (asset)

Safety is a core part of this role. You will be expected to:

• Maintain a clean, organized, and hazard-free work area
• Report unsafe conditions or equipment issues immediately
• Help support a strong safety-first culture across the team

• High school diploma or equivalent (GED)
• 2+ years of experience in shipping/receiving, warehouse, logistics, or industrial environments
• Strong experience working with metals, steel, or heavy materials is highly preferred
• Forklift experience and overhead crane experience considered a strong asset
• Welding or fabrication background is a strong asset, particularly for candidates looking to transition into shipping, logistics, and materials handling while staying within the metals/steel industry
• Comfortable using computers and ERP/inventory systems
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow procedures accurately
• Basic math and measurement skills

• Strong communication and teamwork in a shop/production environment
• Accountability and reliability in handling materials and documentation
• Problem-solving when dealing with inventory or shipping discrepancies
• Ability to stay organized in a fast-paced environment
• Commitment to safe work practices and continuous improvement

• Industrial environment with exposure to noise, dust, fumes, and moving equipment
• Work around forklifts, overhead cranes, and mechanical systems
• Moderate to high noise levels (hearing protection may be required)
