Join DSV in Franklin, MA and earn $26.00–$28.00 per hour! DSV is seeking a dependable, detail-oriented Warehouse Material Handler / Loader to support specialized warehouse operations involving the careful handling, staging, loading, and unloading of data center server racks and related equipment requiring white-glove care and precision.

Unlike traditional warehouse operations, this position requires a heightened level of attention to detail, specialized handling procedures, and a strong commitment to protecting shipment integrity.

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, follows established procedures, and understands the importance of precision, safety, and accountability.

Previous warehouse or freight-handling experience is preferred, and experience with white-glove logistics, specialized freight handling, or delicate equipment is a plus. This opportunity offers competitive hourly pay, a team-oriented work environment, and the opportunity to develop specialized logistics skills, all backed by one of the world's leading transport and logistics companies.
