THE OPPORTUNITY: 


We're looking for a team leader to run point on logistics and warehouse operations for our Houston, TX location.




We need a hard-working, safe, courteous, and customer-oriented individual. This role is unique in that you'll be providing support in many areas of our business development, i.e. client relationships, client pickups from multiple sites (near and far), as well as warehouse operations, inventory, and packaging and shipping. With the help of a small team, you'll be assisting in operations as an extension of our AZ, CA, TN, and IA teams, to help us reach more businesses and have a wider community impact. 




ER2 provides complete asset management solutions including hardware purchasing, asset inventory, secure data destruction, on-site IT asset removal, asset recovery, and responsible recycling for all of its partners.




Check out our ER2 services to get a better understanding of what our operation looks like: https://er2.com/business-services/.




We need a real team player; someone adaptable and ready to jump in wherever needed!




This position is full-time, exempt, mainly Monday-Friday 7:30am-4:30pm, with some weekend/overnight trips as required. Sometimes you'll be nearby and able to maintain normal business hours. Other times, you'll be a couple of hours away, or a couple of states away! So you must be willing to travel by plane or truck as needed! Some client pick-ups could take longer than others, so you must also be willing to work flexible hours when necessary.

You work with a sense of urgency to ensure that operational plans are executed, performance goals are achieved, and teams are kept informed and coordinated across functions.
