Drives, operates, and maintains diesel, propane, and electric fork lifts to pick, pull, and put away over 100 different types and sizes of indoor and outdoor pipe, ranging anywhere from PVC, black steel, stainless steel, galvanized, CPVC, ductile, copper, corrugated plastic, corrugated metal, HDPE, PEX sanitized copper, and sanitized stainless and much more. I am also responsible for putting together Septic tanks and picking non-pipe items such as man hole covers. Orders are received through an RF scanner and can contain up to 100+ lines of items to pick, pull, pack, and put away. I hold a 99% picking accuracy rating, contribute to cycle count inventories, cover down on indoor picking zones when needed, and unload/put away semi loads of pipe as they come in throughout the work day. Before I was moved to outdoor pipe, my main focus was picking plumbing supplies inside the warehouse, my top number for picking lines is 1200 in one day. I picked items ranging from small pieces of pipe lines and supplies such as elbows, T pipe, P traps, couplings, toilet seats, toilets, MJ fittings, faucets, sinks, water heaters, bath tubs, and much more. Etna saw my attention to detail, drive, and ability to work in a fast pace environment and moved me to outdoor yard pipe in March of 2018.
