Exceptional Service, Integrity, Care for People, Excellence

Erie Materials, a Certified Great Place to Work and privately owned and operated company since 1973, is built on these core values. We care about our people and team. For more than five decades, Erie Materials has provided high-quality products and exceptional service at the best value to professional contractors. Today, we are the leading distributor of building products in upstate New York and northeastern Pennsylvania.

We have an Temporary, FT Summer Opening for a Warehouse Associate. 

We are looking for people who want to learn our business from the ground up as they build experience over the summer. This is a full time temporary position that is a great opportunity for college students who are home for the summer, or a high school graduate who will be starting college in the fall. Starting in warehouse operations you will have the opportunity to see and learn our products, our processes and our systems; our customer service model and our enterprise resource planning system as you work through the summer with us.

Opportunities will start in late May and continue into mid-late August.

We look for people who:

• are hard working (lifting is involved), team oriented and take initiative;
• have great attitudes, high energy and will be focused on our customers;
• can communicate and are comfortable taking the lead; and,
• will hold themselves accountable for doing a great job

If you are not afraid of being hands-on and working hard; able to lift up to 100 pounds; are a great team player; are reliable; and are available this summer, this might be a great opportunity for you!

Our people work during the day Monday through Friday (and a few Saturday mornings), enjoy an excellent work environment and operate a safe, well maintained warehouse and yard.
