About the Role

We’re a close-knit Field Operations team at Thermo Fisher Scientific, and we’re looking for an upbeat Inventory Specialist to help keep inventory accurate and customers delighted. You’ll use our intuitive electronic systems and mobile scanning tools to ensure orders move efficiently from dock to desk.

What You’ll Do

  • Use handheld RF scanners and our mobile app to perform replenishments, stock rotation, cycle counts, order entry, returns, and backorder processing

  • Receive shipments, scan and store items, and maintain cycle counts to guarantee up-to-date inventory records

  • Own customer interactions—responding via email (our primary channel), following up by phone, and occasionally assisting internal partners to resolve questions and build trust

  • Work with supervisors and teammates to propose and implement improvements that streamline daily workflows

  • Uphold safety and organization standards in every work area by following site guidelines and wearing required PPE

  • Proactively monitor stock levels and flag gaps or issues, so we can fix them before they impact operations

  • May perform other duties as assigned by the Supervisor

What We’re Looking For

  • High school diploma or equivalent, with 23 years of customer-facing, retail stocking, warehouse, or inventory-control experience

  • Confident using RF handheld scanners or mobile scanning apps and basic Microsoft Office tools

  • Excellent verbal and written English communication skills—especially via email—and a friendly, solution-focused approach

  • A self-starter who thrives with detail, accountability, and teamwork

Physical Requirements / Work Environment

  • Works primarily at customer sites, which may require independent work. Work areas may include spaces where chemical-based allergens are in use (such as penicillin, tetracycline, etc)

  • Depending on the area of the building, personal protective equipment may be worn, including lab coats, coveralls, hoods, facemasks, hairnets, safety gloves, steel-toe shoes (required for all colleagues), bump hats, and/or safety glasses.

  • Regularly required to lift 30 - 40lbs, and up to 50lbs occasionally.

  • Regularly use equipment including pushcarts, pallet jacks, mobile cylinders, forklifts, etc. to push/pull up to 100lbs

  • Regularly required to stand, walk and conduct manual material handling (twisting, bending, reaching, lifting, etc.) for prolonged periods.

  • Ability to work in environments with varied temperatures (cold rooms, outside, etc.)

  • Ability to work overtime, as needed.

Benefits

  • Employment with an innovative, forwardthinking organization committed to your professional development

  • Competitive pay and comprehensive benefits package

  • Supportive, people-first culture that values work-life balance!

  • Opportunities to suggest and lead process improvements that make a real difference
