About CR&A Custom
CR&A Custom is a Los Angeles large-format printing and visual display company. We produce building wraps, tradeshow and retail displays, event graphics, and out-of-home advertising for national brands, and we handle fabrication and installation in house.
Position Summary
We are hiring a warehouse associate to keep material moving through the shop. You will receive and stage the substrates, hardware, and consumables production runs on, pull and kit material against job tickets, and pack, crate, and load finished graphics for freight and for our install crews. Print and display work is deadline-driven and job-specific, so accuracy at the dock matters as much as speed: a missed count or a mislabeled crate becomes a missed install date.
Key Responsibilities
Receiving
Receive inbound freight; verify quantities, sizes, and condition against packing slips and purchase orders
Document shortages, overages, and damage at the time of delivery and notify purchasing before the driver leaves
Enter receipts into the ERP system and label material for storage
Unload trucks by hand, pallet jack, or forklift
Material handling and staging
Store substrates, hardware, and consumables in assigned locations; keep sheet goods flat, supported, and undamaged
Pull and kit material against job tickets and cut lists; stage it where the job will run
Move work in process between print, cutting, fabrication, and finishing
Handle full-size sheet goods and rolled media without creasing, scratching, or edge damage
Inventory
Perform cycle counts and assist with physical inventory
Flag low stock on high-turn substrates and consumables before it stops a job
Keep locations accurate so material can be found without a search
Packing, crating, and shipping
Pack, wrap, box, and crate finished graphics and display hardware for freight, courier, and install crews
Build simple crates and protective packaging for oversized and fragile pieces
Label shipments accurately, generate shipping paperwork, and stage load-outs by job
Load outbound trucks and verify the load against the pull sheet before it leaves
Housekeeping and safety
Keep aisles, racks, dock, and staging areas clean, clear, and organized
Break down and dispose of scrap and packaging waste
Wear required PPE and follow all shop and equipment safety procedures
Report damaged racking, equipment issues, and safety hazards immediately
Required Qualifications
1+ year of warehouse, shipping and receiving, or material handling experience
Able to read a tape measure, count accurately, and work from job tickets and pull sheets
Basic computer literacy for inventory and shipping entry
Careful handling of large, flat, and easily damaged material
Reliable attendance and flexibility to work overtime when production requires it
Able to communicate clearly with production, purchasing, and install crews
Preferred Qualifications
Forklift certification, or willingness to certify on hire
Experience in a print, signage, display, or fabrication shop
Experience with an ERP or WMS for receipts, transfers, and counts
Crating or custom packaging experience for oversized freight
Familiarity with common carrier and courier shipping systems
