Material Handler I

Austin, TX  |  18-Month Contract  | Conversion Opportunity

 

Step Into Advanced Manufacturing — With Real Autonomy From Day One

As a Material Handler, you will work with greater independence than a typical entry-level role, supporting the production of multimillion-dollar display and wafer fabrication equipment. You will build hands-on expertise in enterprise inventory systems, industrial vehicle operation, and cleanroom logistics — skills that open doors across semiconductor, biotech, aerospace, and defense manufacturing.

 

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Higher pay range than comparable entry-level positions: $19.00–$22.00/hour based on experience
  • Independence to recognize and solve problems in your work area without waiting for supervisory approval
  • Opportunity to train and mentor other Material Coordinators — leadership experience from day one
  • Hands-on proficiency with Oracle and SAP, enterprise systems valued across supply chain and operations careers
  • Forklift and industrial vehicle certifications earned on the job
  • Cleanroom experience — a rare credential at the entry level, highly sought after in advanced manufacturing
  • 18-month contract with genuine potential for extension or full-time conversion based on performance
  • Shift differentials of up to 23% for evening, night, and weekend schedules
