What You'll Do

• Serve as a driver for gallery deliveries, client installations, vendor pickups, and transfers between company locations. 
• Execute the daily warehouse move sheet while coordinating priorities with the Logistics Lead and Supervisor. 
• Safely load, transport, secure, and unload artwork, antiques, furniture, and other high-value inventory.

• Represent M.S. Rau professionally while working with clients, vendors, and visitors.
