    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

    OSHA 10 certification

    Bilingual English/Spanish

    Physical Requirements

    The essential functions of this position require the ability to:

    Stand and walk on a concrete shop floor for the majority of an 8+ hour shift

    Regularly lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 lbs, and team-lift full sheets, rolls, and large crates

    Bend, kneel, crouch, climb a ladder, and reach overhead to access racking

    Operate a pallet jack and, if certified, a forklift

    Work in a warehouse and shop environment with noise, dust, and variable temperatures, wearing required PPE
