Role Overview

DWS, Inc. is looking for a versatile, hands-on Warehouse Specialist to join our production and service team. This isn't your typical "conveyor-belt" warehouse job. You’ll be the engine of our local operation—moving from the manufacturing floor to the front counter to the delivery truck, all in a single day.

If you have a technical mind, enjoy working with your hands, and actually like talking to people, you’ll fit right in.
