At Winland Foods, we believe excellence starts behind the scenes. Guided by our values of Excellence, Quality, Integrity, Respect, and Collaboration, our Warehouse Team Members play a crucial role in keeping our operations moving safely, smoothly, and efficiently. As a Warehouse Team Member, you'll be responsible for the accurate and efficient movement of goods and materials across warehouse, production, and packaging operations. From operating forklifts to managing inventory and stock rotation (FIFO/FEFO), you'll ensure our processes run seamlessly and in compliance with the highest safety and food quality standards-including SQF, GMP, and HACCP. Beyond daily tasks, you may support shipping and receiving, oversee material flow and storage, and contribute to process improvements that make our teams stronger.

With responsibilities ranging from inventory control to documentation, you'll take pride in maintaining a clean, organized workspace that reflects Winland's commitment to doing things right. This role is more than moving materials-it's about keeping promises: to our customers, to our communities, and to one another.
