About the Role

As a Material Handler / Expeditor at Torus, you will be the heartbeat of our manufacturing floor at GigaOne. Your primary mission is to keep our production lines moving seamlessly by ensuring that the right parts and materials arrive at the right workstations—such as laser, brake press, welding, machining, and assembly—exactly when they are needed.

You take safety seriously, possess a strong spatial awareness for staging and material flow, and are always ready to adapt to changing day-to-day priorities.
