Interested in being surrounded by yarn EVERY DAY?

Skacel Collection, Inc. has a full-time position available in their shipping and receiving department. Not only will you literally be surrounded by yarn, you will also get the benefit of working with a very creative and fun team. And yes! Benefits do include a hefty discount on yarn and needles – as well as freebies on occasion!

As a member of the skacel shipping and receiving team, you will be responsible for picking and shipping items that will end up in local yarn shops across the United States and Canada. Receiving of new product (you see it first!) and inventory (ok, not always fun), will also be part of the position. Thus, having the stamina to be on your feet during the entire work day and the ability to lift 50 pounds is important.  On the bright side, your daily workout most likely won’t be necessary.

Experience in a shipping and receiving environment is not necessary, but here is what is of importance to our team:

• Show up on time on a daily basis. Reliability is extremely important.
• Team attitude.  All for one and one for all. You’ll be spending 8 hours with us 5 days a week.  We will become your second family. Tolerance and acceptance, and better yet, embracing differences, is a necessity.
• Basic math skills - ability to count, add, subtract, multiply, and divide. (Yes, you can use a smart phone or a calculator if needed.)
• Be flexible.  We are a small company and sometimes our shippers need to assist the office staff by answering the phone. And visa versa.
• Pay attention and be aware.  Accuracy and thoroughness are important to our team. As is safety.
• Flex your brain muscles to creatively find solutions for unfortunate situations.
• Computer knowledge and the ability to learn our invoicing system. Although we use paper pick tickets, we do plan to switch to scanners in the near future, when all our vendors have barcodes on their items!
• Have no fear, we have no forklifts.  But, you will get to climb ladders!

Skacel Collection, Inc. is a woman owned and run, progressive company. Frequently a leader in our industry, skacel has been supporting Local Yarn Shops as a wholesaler of high-end yarns and needles for over 33 years.

Looking for security? We've got you covered... 

We like to think of our team as family, and so we treat you as family. For full time team members, we offer a complete benefits package with excellent medical, vision and dental insurance (95% of the cost is covered by skacel), as well as vacation pay, sick pay, paid holidays and even a retirement plan for team members who love us as much as we love them; after three years we provide a “no match necessary” SEP IRA. We are an equal opportunity employer committed to providing a diverse environment.
