Job Summary
Sort incoming and outgoing cylinders by gas type, size, valve type, and ownership, staging them in correct locations for fill, shipping, or storage.

Verify and match cylinder markings, tags, and barcodes; scan cylinders and record movements accurately in the tracking system. Secure cylinders with caps, chains, and straps to prevent tipping or rolling. Keep the yard, dock, and sorting areas clean, organized, and free of hazards.

Report equipment issues, safety concerns, and inventory discrepancies to the supervisor. Support general production duties as assigned.
