    A food and beverage company in Costa Mesa is looking for Warehouse Operation and Inventory Specialist to join their team for a contract to hire role. Our client is moving inventory from one warehouse to another and needs help with the project. The project is expected to take all of December and potentially go through January depending on how fast it can be completed. At the end of the project, the goal would be to bring on the associates on a full time basis at $20/hr. This is for first shift and the schedule would be from 7:00am-3:30pm Monday-Friday. We are shooting for a start date of 12/1/25 or 12/8/25. This contractor will work hands-on to restructure storage systems, implement labeling and inventory protocols, optimize product flow, and ensure the warehouse meets operational, safety, and food & beverage compliance standards. This role is ideal for someone with strong experience in food, beverage, CPG, or manufacturing environments, who can quickly assess operational needs and execute a clear organizational strategy.
