Job Summary: At Goforth Electric, the Shop Hand plays a critical role in bridging our field operations and back-office support. This position is far more than warehouse support-it's about ensuring our teams have the right materials, tools, and processes in place to deliver projects efficiently, safely, and on time. The Shop Hand will take ownership of organizing, maintaining, and improving warehouse and tool management systems. This role will directly influence the way our field crews work day-to-day and will create the foundation for long-term efficiency and growth across the company. Are You:
- Meticulous about keeping your work area organized and functional?
- Someone who takes pride in being the go-to team member others depend on for tools and equipment that actually work?
- Entrepreneurial in spirit-excited to own your area of expertise and improve it over time?
- Tech-savvy and eager to work with the latest software and tracking systems to make your job easier (and more efficient)?
- A natural organizer who enjoys creating order out of chaos?
- Energized by a fast-moving environment where curveballs keep you on your toes?
- Motivated by serving your colleagues and knowing your work helps projects stay on track and customers stay happy?
- Curious and excited to learn new things-and teach others how tools and equipment work?
If so, you might be the Shop Hand we're looking for. What You'll Do: As a Shop Hand at Goforth Electric, you're not just warehouse support-you're the backbone of our field operations.
- Manage shipping/receiving and make sure materials are exactly where they need to be, when they need to be there.
- Partner with our field crews to anticipate needs, streamline workflows, and minimize downtime.
- Champion safety and preventative maintenance standards for tools, trucks, and warehouse operations.
- Work with vendors, coordinate returns, and set the stage for future procurement opportunities.
- Maintain and track tools, ensuring they're safe, functional, and ready for the field.
- Keep our warehouse and tool systems sharp, organized, and running like clockwork.
Why This Role Matters When you succeed, our crews succeed. A well-run warehouse means our field leaders spend less time hunting for tools and more time delivering projects efficiently, safely, and on schedule. Your work directly impacts the success of our projects-and the satisfaction of our customers. What We're Looking For
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and process-driven.
- Strong communicator across vendors, office staff, and field crews.
- Problem solver who doesn't just spot issues-proposes solutions.
- Comfortable with technology (Excel, tool tracking software a plus).
- Physically able to handle warehouse tasks (lifting up to 50 lbs).
- Valid driver's license required.
Growth Path This role is designed for growth. Successful Shop Hands will have opportunities to advance into:
- Warehouse Management - leading material and tool operations.
- Procurement - managing companywide purchasing and vendor partnerships.
Minimum Qualification Standards:
- High School Diploma or GED required.
- Must be physically able to lift/move up to 50 lbs regularly.
- Strong organizational and multitasking skills.
- Proficient in Microsoft Word and Excel; experience with tool tracking software a plus.
- Valid driver's license required.
- Positive communication and customer service skills.
