Foremost Farms USA is one of the largest and most respected dairy cooperatives in the United States, representing hundreds of Midwest dairy farmer members across seven states. With an extensive manufacturing network that produces around 500 million pounds of cheese and 50 million pounds of butter annually, the company stands as a major player in the dairy food and ingredients industry. Headquartered in Middleton (Madison), Wisconsin, and operating seven manufacturing plants throughout Wisconsin and Michigan, Foremost Farms USA has built a reputation for quality, innovation, and operational excellence. Their mission, "We Bring Dairy to Life," reflects their commitment to delivering superior dairy products while supporting the vital agricultural communities that supply them. The company continually seeks dedicated individuals who are innovative and committed to excellence across production, field, and business roles, emphasizing a collaborative and growth-oriented work environment.

The Warehouse Coordinator role at Foremost Farms USA is a full-time, exempt position based in Appleton, Wisconsin, with a day shift work schedule. This role is pivotal in ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of warehouse activities within the plant by managing inventory flow from production through storage to shipment. The Warehouse Coordinator contributes directly to the company's success by supporting internal teams and external partners, ensuring accurate inventory records, facilitating communication across departments, and maintaining high standards of operational alignment. Key responsibilities include coordinating finished goods movements, creating ISOs for shuttle shipments to third-party logistics providers, working closely with production supervisors to manage warehouse put-away plans, and verifying the accuracy of material labeling within Oracle R12. The role requires a professional approach to handling internal communications and customer inquiries, supporting collaboration between the front office and plant operations, and occasionally backfilling other administrative functions.

The Warehouse Coordinator position offers an excellent chance to join a leading cooperative with competitive benefits designed to support employees' health, financial security, and overall quality of life. Benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans tailored to meet diverse needs, a 401(k) retirement plan with full company matching up to 8 percent, generous paid time off starting from 200 hours annually, paid holidays, paid parental leave, and flexible accounts for health and dependent care expenses. Employees also benefit from life and disability insurance, daily pay access, employee assistance programs, referral bonuses, and career growth opportunities within the company.

This position requires regular workplace presence, underscoring the importance of hands-on involvement and direct coordination at the plant. Foremost Farms USA is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, actively encouraging minorities, females, veterans, and individuals with disabilities to apply. The company adheres to at-will employment policies, emphasizing flexibility and mutual respect in their working relationships. Candidates must successfully complete pre-employment screening, including potential drug testing and background checks, ensuring preparedness and suitability for the role.
