Are you looking for a hands‑on role with a company that values teamwork, reliability, and taking care of its people?



At Martin Equipment, we’re more than a John Deere Construction Dealership — we’re a 4th‑generation, family‑owned business with nearly 100 years of history and a strong commitment to serving our customers and supporting our employees.

 

We’re currently seeking a full‑time Shipping & Receiving Clerk to join our team. If you enjoy staying organized, working with your hands, and being part of a fast‑paced, team‑oriented environment — we’d love to meet you!


What You’ll Do

As a Shipping & Receiving Clerk, you’ll play a key role in keeping parts and materials moving efficiently and accurately throughout our operation. Your day‑to‑day work will include:

  • Receiving, inspecting, and verifying incoming shipments for accuracy and damage
  • Unpacking, labeling, and routing materials to proper departments or storage areas
  • Preparing and processing outgoing shipments
  • Operating forklifts, pallet jacks, and hand trucks safely
  • Processing defective or returned parts for replacement or credit
  • Maintaining accurate inventory and shipping records using computer systems
  • Ensuring an adequate supply of shipping materials is always on hand
  • Making local pickups and deliveries to suppliers using a company van, as needed
  • Supporting a clean, organized, and safety‑focused warehouse environment

What We’re Looking For

Requirements

  • Education: High school diploma or equivalent required
  • Experience: Prior shipping, receiving, warehouse, or parts experience preferred
  • Licenses/Certifications:
    • Forklift certification (or ability to obtain)
    • Valid driver’s license with satisfactory driving record
  • Skills:
    • Strong organizational and problem‑solving skills
    • Basic computer skills
    • Clear communication and teamwork mindset
    • Strong attention to detail and passion for the work
    • Dependable, reliable, and safety‑focused

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Family‑owned culture with a strong sense of teamwork and respect
  • Consistent full‑time schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:00am–5:00pm
  • Hands‑on, active role — no two days are exactly the same
  • All required PPE provided — safety is a top priority
  • Supportive team environment where your work matters
  • Opportunities to learn, grow, and develop within Martin Equipment

Physical Requirements

This role involves standing, walking, bending, and lifting throughout the day, including lifting materials up to 50 lbs.

You’ll need good vision and hearing to safely operate equipment, use computer systems, and communicate with your team.

Work takes place in a warehouse environment with exposure to moving equipment and occasional outdoor conditions.
