Shipping Coordinator - Merit Manufacturing

We're looking for someone who wants to take ownership of our warehouse. Someone who is driven to keep our warehouse organized. Someone who is passionate about cleanliness.

If you get frustrated when your fellow employees spend all their time on the forklift and you don't feel like things actually get done, you might be the person we're looking for.

We're not a big warehouse, but we're a busy one. Don't apply if you don't want to stay busy. Don't apply if you don't want a challenge. Don't apply if you want to dead end job where you can just go unnoticed.

Being the Shipping Coordinator at Merit Manufacturing is going to be an opportunity for you to truly make an impact in your job, get noticed, and get rewarded for being part of a great team.

We are all just so excited to be doing what we do. None of us imagined that personal care manufacturing was our future, but this exciting market has helped us create a team that we love. We get to create fun products, dream up new ideas, solve problems, and work as a team each day. When we're done, we've made something we can actually hold in our hand and be proud of.
