As a Receiving Clerk, you will be responsible for verifying the accuracy of shipments by checking items against purchase orders, invoices, and packing slips. You will inspect incoming goods for damages, defects, or discrepancies and promptly report any issues to the appropriate department. Your role will also involve accurately recording shipment details into our inventory management system, ensuring that inventory records remain up-to-date and reliable.
In addition to receiving and inspecting shipments, you will be responsible for organizing and storing received goods in designated storage areas.
