About Factory Karts

At Factory Karts, we don't just build go-karts; we build championship-winning machines. Based in the heart of Phoenix, we are a fast-growing leader in the karting industry, dedicated to performance, innovation, and our racing community. We’re looking for a Fulfillment Specialist who takes as much pride in the "final lap" of the customer experience as we do in our engineering.

The Role

As our Fulfillment Specialist, you are the backbone of our shipping operations. You’ll ensure that every nut, bolt, and chassis reaches our customers and dealers quickly and accurately. We are looking for someone who is as comfortable behind a computer screen managing data as they are on the warehouse floor.

What You’ll Do

• Pick & Pack: Accurately pull parts and kits from inventory based on digital and printed pick sheets.
• Quality Control: Inspect items for damage or defects before they head out the door—only the best leaves our shop.
• Inventory Management: Assist with receiving incoming stock, restocking shelves, and maintaining an organized warehouse.
• Inventory Tracking: Use Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets to log inventory movements, track shipping costs, and maintain organized records.
• Shipping & Logistics: Prepare domestic and international shipments. Daily use of UPS WorldShip and FedEx Ship Manager is required to ensure timely delivery.
• LTL Coordination: Assist in booking and managing Third-Party LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipments for larger freight and chassis orders.
• Warehouse Flow: Safely move materials throughout the facility (experience operating a forklift is a major plus!).

Who You Are

• Detail-Oriented: You notice the difference between a 10mm and a 12mm bolt at a glance.
• Reliable: You show up ready to work and understand that the team wins together.
• Physically Active: You’re comfortable being on your feet, moving through the warehouse, and lifting up to 50 lbs.
• Tech-Savvy: Familiarity with shipping software or basic inventory systems is a plus.
• Bonus Points: A passion for motorsports or automotive mechanics!

Why Join Us?

• Competitive pay and growth opportunities within a growing brand.
• A high-energy work environment surrounded by world-class racing technology.
