· Skills: Basic math skills and familiarity with RF systems for tracking inventory.

· Adaptability: Ability to work in temperatures as low as -20°F (-25°C) in cold storage and up to 100°F (37°C) in dry storage while wearing company-provided protective gear.

· Physical Capability: Must be able to lift at least 40 lbs. (18 kgs), with weight requirements varying by facility.
