Pay: $22.00 – 26.00 Per Hour
The Receiver is a receiving position responsible for accurately receiving, inspecting, documenting, labeling, staging, and system-processing cabinet, casework, millwork, hardware, lumber, and door-related material in a fast-paced production environment.
This role is heavily tied to the cabinet side of the business, where material accuracy directly impacts production flow, machine efficiency, finish quality, job completion, and customer commitments. Cabinet material is often high-volume, finish-sensitive, color-specific, size-specific, and project-specific. A missed finish, wrong slide length, incorrect pull, damaged laminate, mislabeled melamine sheet, or missing component can stop production just as quickly as a missing door or jamb.
While cabinet material is the primary focus of this role, door material remains highly relevant to the overall business. The receiver must be able to identify, receive, protect, stage, and communicate on door-related material when it flows through the facility. Even if the volume is lower than cabinet material at this location, doors remain a major business segment and must be handled with the same ownership, accuracy, and visibility.
This role requires strong judgment, fast but precise work, cross-department communication, and full ownership of material from the moment it hits the dock until it is received, labeled, located, staged, transferred, or clearly handed off.
This position requires grit, urgency, precision, communication, and accountability.
The Receiver must be able to receive and verify a broad range of cabinet and casework materials, including but not limited to:
The expectation is not just to unload these items, but to confirm that the material received matches what was ordered, what is needed, and what production is expecting.
Cabinet material requires detailed verification because many items may look similar but are not interchangeable. The Receiver 3 must carefully verify:
Small receiving mistakes can create large production problems. A wrong color, wrong thickness, missing hinge plate, incorrect slide length, or damaged laminate can cause rework, machine downtime, schedule delays, and customer-facing issues.
The Receiver must understand that laminates, melamine, plywood, MDF, and other sheet goods require careful handling and immediate protection.
Responsibilities include:
Sheet goods are a major production driver. If they are wrong, damaged, hidden, or unreceived, the cabinet shop can lose production time quickly.
Cabinet hardware requires high accuracy because many components are small, similar-looking, job-specific, and easy to miscount or misidentify.
The Receiver must verify and control:
Hardware must be received, labeled, and staged in a way that prevents mixing, loss, or confusion. The receiver must use good judgment when hardware arrives loose, bulk-packed, mislabeled, or without clear project identification.
The goal is simple: production should not have to stop, dig, guess, or rebuild a receiving decision after the material has already left the dock.
The Receiver may receive various lumber, moulding, and millwork-related materials that support cabinet and general production needs.
Responsibilities include:
Lumber and millwork material can be difficult to correct after the fact once it is mixed into inventory. The receiver must catch problems at the dock whenever possible.
Although this position is more cabinet-focused, the Receiver 3 must still be capable of receiving and protecting door-related material because doors remain a major part of the company’s business.
Door material may include:
The receiver is not expected to be a door production expert, but they must understand enough to prevent avoidable receiving failures. This includes verifying:
Door material may represent a smaller portion of the receiving volume at this location, but it can carry major production, project, and customer impact. A wrong door, missing jamb, incorrect hardware box, or damaged frame can delay shipping, installation, or project completion. Door material must not be treated as secondary or less important simply because cabinet material is the larger daily focus.
The Receiver must work with multiple departments and keep material status visible at all times.
This includes communication with:
The Receiver 3 must clearly communicate:
No department should have to guess whether material arrived, where it went, or whether it is usable. The receiver owns visibility from dock to location.
The Receiver is expected to make good decisions in real time.
This role must be able to decide when to:
This position requires efficiency, but not reckless speed. The Receiver 3 must move quickly while still protecting accuracy, safety, inventory integrity, and production flow.
Ownership means the receiver does not leave material unidentified, unlabeled, unlocated, undocumented, or unexplained.
The Receiver must be able to work in warehouse, dock, yard, and outdoor receiving conditions, including rain, cold, heat, wind, and other normal operating weather conditions.
This is especially important because many cabinet and door materials are vulnerable to weather exposure.
The receiver must:
The Receiver must maintain accurate receiving records and system visibility.
Responsibilities include:
The standard is 100% visibility. Material should never disappear into the building without a clear system trail, physical location, and communication path.
The requirements listed above are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
A successful Receiver will consistently:
The Receiver is a critical control point for cabinet production and the broader business. This position must understand the complexity of cabinet components while still respecting the importance of door-related material within the company. The role requires fast, precise receiving; strong material protection; good judgment; constant communication; and full ownership of visibility from dock receipt to final location.
The Safety Program and all established safety rules must be followed, and equipment must be used where required. This will include safety glasses, safety shoes, and hearing protection (when needed) while on the production floor.
