Tess Parker

In this position it is my responsibility to perform daily helper duties to keep equipment operating at peak performance and to provide support to the technicians on the team. I conduct regular building and equipment inspections/ PMs to ensure optimal operation, troubleshoot and repair broken down machinery, and complete paperwork to keep track of maintenance history and to provide proof safety procedures are being followed. I build positive relationships with the associates within the warehouse and demonstrate a strong team player attitude. I look forward to taking on more responsibility and the opportunity to learn and grow more in this field.

Driving a forklift, it was my responsibility to supply the production line with materials needed depending on the product being run. Once the pallets of finished goods were stacked and wrapped, I would inspect them to ensure all of the information on the boxes and pallets were correct. Then I transported the finished pallets to the shipping dock to load into semis or put away in racks. I completed paperwork including truck inspection sheets, BOL's and end of run numbers.

I started as a RSR Forklift operator, responsible for transporting pallets of freight from the floor into the reserve racks, then the racks to the modules. I worked as a team with the order fillers to seamlessly replenish inventory. I am certified on every type of heavy equipment at the Distribution Center. I was cross trained in every area of the warehouse, which identified my strengths in Quality Assurance, as I'm very detail oriented. I was commended multiple times for my flexibility and willingness to help in other departments, and often helped in order filling. I was moved to Quality Assurance Associate, where I worked with over 10 screens on my computer each day, evaluating inventory in every aspect and ensuring accuracy of orders and supply. I am a quick learner and skilled in data entry and tracking using multiple software systems. I love working in a fast paced environment and being challenged.

I started out as a food prep associate, and was quickly promoted to Fresh Departments Team Lead. I was responsible for 5 fresh departments and supervised approximately 20 employees, in addition to lots of customers service. Safety, production and quality were always prioritized. I unloaded fresh trucks with an RC, then broke down the pallets in the coolers & freezers. I worked really well in extreme heat and cold, and can easily handle long hours on my feet. I handled monthly inventory for my areas, truck orders, as well as procedural cleaning.

I provided excellent customer service and quickly was promoted to Shift Manager where I watched over operations to maximize the output of the employees. I handled cash and credit payments and quality control.
