Responsibilities and Duties

The Production Kitting Specialist is responsible for accurately and efficiently building customer kits by pulling, organizing, and assembling thousands of individual components into complete kits. This role plays a critical part in inventory accuracy, materials organization, and shipping/receiving support within the warehouse. Attention to detail, organization, and the ability to work with complex part lists are essential to success in this position.

  • Accurately build customer kits by pulling large volumes of parts according to kit requirements, packing lists, and bills of materials (BOMs)

  • Speed and consistency of component assembly
