Warehouse Associate – Industrial Inventory & Shipping

Build More Than Inventory.

Help Build a Company.

Spyder Industrial is expanding its Houston operations and is seeking a hands-on Warehouse Associate – Industrial Inventory & Shipping to help support the next phase of our company's growth.

This is more than a warehouse position.

It's an opportunity to become part of a lean, growth-oriented industrial distribution company where initiative, professionalism, accountability and a willingness to learn are valued alongside relevant warehouse and industry experience.

If you've worked around valves, fittings, flanges, pipe, PVF, oilfield equipment, steel, pumps, hose, fasteners, industrial supply or other technical inventory, we especially want to hear from you.

We're looking for someone who can contribute today while developing the product knowledge, systems capability and business understanding to take on greater responsibility tomorrow.

If you're looking for more than another warehouse job—and want an opportunity to learn the business, not just the job—we'd like to meet you.

About Spyder Industrial

Spyder Industrial is a Houston-based industrial distributor supporting customers across energy, industrial, manufacturing, fabrication and infrastructure markets.

Our growing product portfolio includes high-pressure valves, fittings and adapters; ANSI flanges; high-performance butterfly valves; check valves; gauges, hose assemblies and other industrial flow-control products.

We support applications across oil and gas, midstream, refining, chemical processing, power generation, fabrication, water transfer and infrastructure markets.

Spyder is expanding beyond its established high-pressure product base into a broader industrial flow-control platform, and our Houston operation is being built to support that growth.

As our company continues to expand, we remain committed to responsive customer service, dependable supply-chain execution and professional support while investing in the people, inventory, systems and infrastructure necessary for long-term growth.
