Furniture Mover To Help Our Warehouse Workflow Go More Smoothly

Chicago IL

Description

We are a growing furniture company here in Countryside, and I am looking for someone specifically to help our team move furniture in and out of our photo studio every day so that our photographer can focus more on taking photos rather than the logistics of getting furniture in and out of the studio and where to put it in the warehouse afterwards, what piece to get next, etc. This would be from 8am-5pm (sometimes 4pm), Monday through Friday and there is opportunity for growth here as you gain more experience and familiarity with our warehouse, the furniture itself, and how it is all organized. At the start, you would be an important part of helping to make sure our daily photography workflow goes smoothly. You would be working with our warehouse supervisor to accomplish this goal. Here is what your tasks would look like at the start: 1. Every morning we must ensure there is a piece of furniture in the studio ready to go so that the photographer can get straight to work without any delay. Depending on the circumstances, this might mean getting it there immediately when you arrive in the morning, or having it already in place at the end of the previous day. 2. While that piece is being photographed, you would be helping get the next piece ready on our list. This involves looking at our list, keeping it organized, going to locate the next piece in the warehouse, cleaning it up so that it doesn't have any bad looking dust/dirt/blemishes on it, and then moving it into place with the help of another person. There are specific standards for how this should be done, and I'll be able to go over that with you later. 3. When the photographer is done with the piece he's on, you would move that piece out, and the next piece in (obviously with the help of another person if its big) and then put the finished piece back where it belongs in the warehouse. Also, since this is a warehouse with often very high racks, it is important to use common sense when putting something back, stacking dining chairs, etc - obviously we want to organize things in such a way that it is safe for everyone working here. 4. Repeat step 2 and 3 until we run out of time for the day. Aside from supporting the photography studio throughout the day, there may be times when the warehouse supervisor needs your help moving furniture around the support other teams, but your primary goal must remain with helping support the workflow of the photography studio. The most important qualities you can have for this job is to show up on time, have enough physical strength to move furniture around most of the day, and a militant attitude toward organization and cleanliness of the furniture you are preparing to be photographed. If you have the personal traits I described above and think you can handle this type of daily workflow well, then I look forward to talking with you :) Please e-mail me anything about yourself that would indicate you can excel at this position and if it is clear to me you are a good fit for the company and the job, I will contact you right away.
