Rockford, IL | 2nd Shift | $18-$24/hr. Based on Experience

Looking for a hands-on warehouse position with a stable schedule, competitive pay, and great benefits? Join our team at River City Millwork, a division of Rugby Architectural Building Products.

Rugby Architectural Building Products is a nationwide distributor of specialty building products with 26 locations across the U.S. Our Rockford, IL location operates as River City Millwork.

The Opportunity

We're growing and looking for a hardworking Warehouse Associate (Loader) to join our 2nd Shift team.

This is a physically active, hands-on warehouse role. While forklift operation is an important part of the job, a significant portion of your day will involve manually loading, unloading, moving, and staging building materials. Our products are often large, heavy, and awkwardly shaped, so this position is ideal for someone who enjoys physical work and takes pride in working safely.

If you're the type of person who likes to stay moving throughout your shift and be part of a team that gets the job done, we'd love to hear from you.

What's In It for You?

• Pay: $18.00-$24.00 per hour, depending on experience
• 2nd Shift Schedule: 11:00 a.m. to finish
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with Traditional and Roth options plus company match
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Life insurance
• Short-term and long-term disability coverage
• Corporate wellness and employee appreciation programs
• Stable, growing company with advancement opportunities
• Team-oriented work environment

What You'll Do

• Load trucks accurately and safely for customer deliveries.
• Manually move, stage, and load building materials throughout the warehouse.
• Pick and prepare customer orders for shipment.
• Operate a sit-down forklift to transport heavy and oversized products.
• Receive, unload, and store incoming materials.
• Verify products and quantities against customer orders.
• Safely handle long, bulky, and awkward-shaped materials.
• Maintain an organized and safe work area.
• Attend safety meetings and follow all company safety procedures.
• Perform other warehouse duties as assigned.

Important: This Is a Hands-On Position

This is not a forklift-only role.

Successful team members spend a large portion of their shift manually handling building materials in addition to operating a forklift. The work is fast-paced and physical, requiring strength, stamina, and a commitment to working safely.

What We're Looking For

• Warehouse, material handling, shipping, receiving, manufacturing, or distribution experience preferred.
• Sit-down forklift experience is preferred; certification is a plus.
• Ability to perform physical work throughout the entire shift.
• Comfortable repeatedly lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling materials.
• Ability to routinely lift up to 50 pounds independently and move heavier materials with a teammate or equipment assistance.
• Ability to safely handle large, heavy, and awkwardly shaped building products.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to safety.
• Dependable, self-motivated, and team-oriented.
• Positive attitude and strong work ethic.

Pre-Employment & Safety Requirements

This position is designated as a safety-sensitive role.

Employment is contingent upon successfully completing:

• Background check
• Pre-employment drug screening
• Any other job-related pre-employment requirements

Employees in safety-sensitive positions may be subject to ongoing drug testing in accordance with company policy and applicable regulations.
