The Shipping & Receiving Technician will be located onsite in Pueblo, CO and reports to the Materials & Production Planning Manager. This role is responsible for the accurate and compliant processing of all inbound and outbound shipments across Estes Energetics facilities, ensuring materials are received, verified, documented, and shipped in accordance with purchase orders, contractual requirements, and applicable regulatory standards. Two positions are available; both carry identical responsibilities and are designed to be interchangeable across facility locations to ensure operational continuity and multi-site coverage as shipment volume increases across concurrent programs.

In this role, the essential functions are:

• Inspect and verify incoming shipments against purchase orders, packing lists, and certificates of conformance; process receipts accurately in ERP/MRP system (NetSuite).
• Identify, document, and escalate discrepancies, damages, shortages, or non-conforming material to the Materials & Logistics Coordinator or planning team.
• Coordinate with accounts payable on receipt discrepancies to prevent duplicate payments and inventory variances.
• Identify inbound materials requiring receiving inspection per quality requirements; coordinate timely handoff to the Quality Senior Receiving Technician where applicable, maintaining accurate receipt status and documentation through the inspection process.
• Prepare and process outbound shipments including packaging, labeling, carrier coordination, and generation of shipping documentation — bills of lading, packing lists, and export paperwork.
• Ensure compliance with ITAR and export control requirements for all applicable inbound and outbound shipments, including government freight.
• Coordinate government freight shipments per applicable federal transportation and contracting regulations (DTR).
• Support increasing outbound shipment volume across multiple concurrent programs; maintain accuracy and compliance under high-tempo conditions.
• Maintain receiving and shipping logs and documentation in compliance with AS9100 traceability and audit-readiness requirements.
• Obtain and file required material documentation including certificates of conformance and material certifications for each order received.
• Follow all hazmat handling, storage, and shipping procedures per DOT and applicable regulations.
• Support physical inventory counts and cycle counting activities as directed.
• Communicate proactively with the Materials & Logistics Coordinator and planning team on receipt status, inbound delays, and shipment exceptions.
• Perform cross-facility duties as required
