Logistics Associate

Description

Join the Team Behind One of the World's Premier Fine Art Galleries

M.S. Rau has been a leader in fine art, antiques, and rare jewelry for more than 100 years. Our reputation is built not only on extraordinary collections but also on the exceptional people who safely move, install, and care for those pieces. 

We're looking for a dependable, hands-on Logistics Associate to join our Operations team. If you enjoy staying active, working with a team, solving problems, and taking pride in careful, quality work, we'd love to hear from you.

Why M.S. Rau?

At M.S. Rau, you'll become part of a company with more than a century of history and a reputation recognized around the world. Every day you'll help protect, transport, and display extraordinary works of art while working alongside a collaborative team that values craftsmanship, professionalism, and attention to detail.

What You'll Do

You'll play an important role in ensuring artwork, antiques, and furnishings are transported safely and efficiently between our warehouse, gallery, clients, and exhibitions. Responsibilities include:

• Execute the daily warehouse move sheet and support logistics operations. 
• Drive company vehicles for local pickups, deliveries, and transfers. 
• Pack, crate, wrap, and secure artwork and furniture for transportation. 
• Load and unload trucks while handling valuable inventory with care. 
• Receive deliveries and verify shipments for accuracy. 
• Maintain warehouse organization and inventory locations. 
• Assist with gallery installations, exhibition setup, and large deliveries. 
• Support the Art Handling and Restoration teams as business needs require.

• Experience with packing, crating, inventory management, or shipping operations. 
• Basic woodworking or frame touch-up experience is a plus.

What to Expect

• Working both indoors and outdoors in varying weather conditions. 
• Safely operating company vehicles, including box trucks. 
• Handling valuable artwork and furnishings with precision and care.

Compensation, Work Schedule & Travel

• Compensation will be comprised of a very competitive salary commensurate with experience, with eligibility to earn quarterly and annual bonuses.
• This is a full-time position with a normal schedule of Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.
• Rotating Saturdays are required, with a scheduled weekday off to maintain a regular 40-hour workweek. Work schedules may vary based on travel, installations, tradeshows, gallery events, and business needs. Occasional evening, weekend, and overtime work may be required. Employees are expected to maintain a flexible schedule to meet operational, travel, delivery, and event requirements.
